Cognitive Architectures

• One set of systems that implement a theory and multiple cognitive models are known as Cognitive Architectures.
• Newell proposed that a Cognitive Architecture provides all the stable framework that a cognitive being (usually considered a human) has.
• There can be extra stuff that's added, but that is not the stable stuff.
• While no system really fulfills this currently, there are several really good ones.
• Soar, from Laird, Rosenbloom and Newell is mostly used for AI systems.
• ACT by Anderson is the popular Cognitive Model architecture.
• Another is EPIC by Kieras, and there are quite a few others.
