Cognitive architectures may serve as a good basis for building mind/brain-inspired, psychologically realistic cognitive agents for various applications that require or prefer human-like behavior and performance. This article explores a well-established cognitive architecture CLARION and shows how its behavior and performance capture human psychology at a detailed level. The model captures many ...

In this paper we present memory-based learning (mbl) as a psychologically plausible model of natural language processing. Mbl shows a state-of-the-art performance on real-world language tasks, such as word pronunciation , word sense disambiguation and parsing. We compare mbl to a neural network model, SardSrn (May-berry & Miikkulainen, 1999) on a parsing task, and we show that mbl has a better ...

Behavioural animation aims to simulate the behaviour of a character so as to automatically produce sections of animation. An important aspect is simulation of perceptuo-motor behaviour: the ways in which a virtual actor senses and reacts to its virtual environment. The fact that all of the information about the virtual environment is available to the computer makes the problem easier than the e...

A connectionist system has been designed for learning and simultaneous recognition of flat industrial objects (based an the concepts of conventional and structured connectionist computing) by integrating the psychological hypotheses with the generalized Hough transform technique. The psychological facts include the evidence of separation of two regions for identification ("what it is") and pose...
