Creating an educational curriculum is a difficult task involving many variables and constraints [Wang 2005]. In any curriculum, the order of the instructional units is partly based on which units teach prerequisite knowledge for later units. Historically, psychologists and cognitive scientists have studied the dependency structure of information in various domains [Bergan and Jeska 1980; Griffi...

Cognitive modeling is the distinguishing factor of cognitive science and the method of choice for formalizing human cognition. In order to bridge the gap between logic and human reasoning, a number of foundational research questions need to be rigorously answered. The objective of this paper is to present relevant concepts and to introduce possible modeling standards as well as key discussion p...

Moral reasoning plays a significant but poorly understood role in human action and interaction. Although studied by philosophers for millennia, considerable confusion surrounds the topic. Computational cognitive architectures hold promise for shedding insight on how agents act and reason morally. We present a view of moral cognition and examine one implementation of that view in Icarus, a theor...

First, I wanted to encourage a direct confrontation of situated, embodied, and dynamical ideas with cognitive phenomena, in the hopes of furthering debate on the role of these ideas in cognitive science. Second, I wanted to describe a specific research methodology that could concretely ground such a debate, and to illu...
