This paper provides an overview of the area of psychological inspired symbolic cognitive architectures. It does this by first defining the terms that describe this research area and by selecting three architectures to examine: ACT-R, EPIC, and Soar. For each of these architectures, the motivations, assumptions, and features are evaluated. The similarities and differences between the architectur...

This paper aims to determine whether iconic tracing gestures produced while speaking constitute part of the speaker’s communicative intention. We used a picture description task in which speakers must communicate the spatial and color information of each picture to an interlocutor. By establishing the necessary minimal content of an intended message, we determined whether speech produced with c...

abstract the present study investigates the relationship between multiple intelligences and teaching styles of eng-lish as foreign language (efl) learners and teachers. the participants of the study included 106 efl teachers and 400 efl learners. teachers were invited to complete a multiple intelligences inventory for efl teachers, developed by christison (1998) and a thinking styles inventory ...

In this chapter we discuss how the ACT-R cognitive architecture can be used in combination with fMRI data. ACT-R is a cognitive architecture that can provide a description of the processes from perception through to action for a wide range of cognitive tasks. It has a computational implementation that can be used to create models of specific tasks, which yield exact predictions in the form of r...

Response times, accuracy and event-related potentials were measured in 24 children (mean age 7.6 years), 24 juveniles (11.4 years) and 24 adults (23.8 years) during a mental rotation task with letters. Response time and error rates increased with angular displacements for all age groups. Increasing accuracy with increasing age suggested that this task was more difficult for younger participants...
