Animating Cognitive Models and Architectures: A Rule-Based Approach

Abstract

Computational psychology provides computational models exploring different aspects of cognition. A cognitive architecture includes the basic aspects of any cognitive agent. It consists of different correlated modules. In general, cognitive architectures provide the needed layouts for building intelligent agents. The paper presents a rule-based approach to visually animate the simulations of models done through cognitive architectures. As a proof of concept, simulations through Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (ACT-R) were animated. ACT-R is a well-known cognitive architecture. It was deployed to create models in different fields including, among others, learning, problem solving and languages.

“…Another application of animating CHR programs was using it to animate cognitive architectures and the execution of cognitive models through them as shown in [32]. A cognitive architecture includes the basic aspects of any cognitive agent.…”
