cognitive architectures (cas) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. a ca is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. over the years a number of distinct cas have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. these cas are usually classified as symbolic and...

Modeling crowd behaviors is an important challenge for intelligent virtual agents. We propose a general cognitive model of simulating crowd behaviors, based on Festinger’s Social Comparison Theory (SCT), a prominent social psychology theory. We present the use of the SCT model (using the Soar cognitive architecture) in the generation of imitational behavior in loosely-coupled groups and show th...

This paper presents an implementation of a cognitive model of a complex real-world task in the cognitive architecture Soar. During the implementation process there were lessons learned on various aspects, such as the retrieval of working memory elements with relative values, alternative approaches to reasoning, and reasoning control. Additionally, the implementation is compared to an earlier im...

One approach in pursuit of general intelligent agents has been to concentrate on the underlying cognitive architecture, of which Soar is a prime example. In the past, Soar has relied on a minimal number of architectural modules together with purely symbolic representations of knowledge. This paper presents the cognitive architecture approach to general intelligence and the traditional, symbolic...

Trust is not simply the result of rational cognition but relies on rational and “beyond rational” cognition. The concept of trust is discussed in terms of its biological, Maslow, and cognitive roots. The cognitive roots rely on the Dual Process Theory, i.e. that there are two types of cognition sometimes called rational and non-rational. Therefore, the roots of trust need a cognitive architectu...

Learning is a fundamental component of intelligence, and a key consideration in designing cognitive architectures such as Soar [Laird et al., 1986]. This chapter considers the question of what constitutes an appropriate general-purpose learning mechanism. We are interested in mechanisms that might explain and reproduce the rich variety of learning capabilities of humans, ranging from learning p...
