    The document discusses the cognitive architecture ACT-R, describing it as a theory of how human cognition works that integrates aspects of cognition, perception, and action. It was developed by John Robert Anderson and Christian Lebiere at Carnegie Mellon University to define basic cognitive and perceptual operations. ACT-R models different types of memory including declarative, procedural, and working memory and how they interact through a limited working memory capacity.

    ACT-R

    ADAPTIVE CONTROL
    OF THOUGHT-
    RATIONAL
    What is ACT-R?
    • ACT-R is a cognitive architecture, a
    theory about how human cognition works.
    • Looks like a (procedural) programming
    language.
    • Constructs based on assumptions about
    human cognitions.
    What is ACT-R?
    • ACT-R is an integrated cognitive
    architecture.
    • Brings together not just different aspects of
    cognition, but of
    • Cognition
    • Perception
    • Action
    What is ACT-R?
    • Developed by John Robert Anderson and
    Christian Lebiere at Carnegie Mellon
    University. Like any cognitive architecture,
    ACT-R aims to define the basic and
    irreducible cognitive and perceptual
    operations that enable the human mind.
    What is ACT-R?
    • On the exterior, ACT-R looks
    like a programming language;
    however, its constructs reflect
    assumptions about human
    cognition.

    Three Types of
    Memory Structure
    Declarative Memory
    • Facts
    • Washington, D.C. is the capital of the U.S.
    • 2+3=5.
    • Knowledge a person might be expected to
    have to solve a problem.
    Procedural Memory
    • Procedural memory: Knowledge
    about how to do something.
    • How to type the letter “Q”.
    • How to drive.
    • How to perform addition.
    Working Memory
    A cognitive system with a limited capacity that
    can hold information temporarily. Working memory is
    important for reasoning and the guidance of decision-
    making and behavior. Working memory is often used
    synonymously with short-term memory, but some
    theorists consider the two forms of memory distinct,
    assuming that working memory allows for the
    manipulation of stored information, whereas short-
    term memory only refers to the short-term storage of
    information.
    ACT-R IN EDUCATION
    “The ACT-R model of memory could be
    applied in education in a number of ways.
    Teachers should be aware that there are
    different kinds of memory, and that these
    associate with each other through the
    limited Working Memory. Overloading WM
    with too much information at once will not
    be conducive to good knowledge making.
    ACT-R IN EDUCATION
    At the same time, encouraging
    students to combine their knowledge with
    actions can have the effect of reinforcing
    learning in both procedural and declarative
    memory. A combination of thinking and
    doing can be a powerful mix of activity to
    deepen learning in just about any subject
    area.”
