The current state of research in cognitive architectures
Cognitive architectures are systems that aim to simulate and understand the workings of the human mind. They are an important area of research in artificial intelligence, psychology, and cognitive science, as they provide a theoretical framework for building intelligent systems and understanding the mechanisms of human thought. The development of cognitive architectures has been ongoing…

The limitations of existing cognitive architectures
As someone who has spent quite some time pondering cognitive architectures and their capabilities, I’ve come to recognize that there are certain limitations to existing models that can’t be ignored. While these architectures have been invaluable in helping us understand how the brain processes information and how we might replicate that process in artificial intelligence…

What Makes a Good Cognitive Architecture: the Key Features
As a cognitive scientist and AI researcher, I have long been interested in the question of what makes a good cognitive architecture. While there are many features to consider, one of the most crucial is grounding. Grounding Grounding refers to the process of linking abstract concepts to real-world experiences. In the context of cognitive architectures,…

An Overview of Popular Cognitive Architectures
In this blog post, I will provide an high-fly overview of some of the most popular cognitive architectures. ACT-R ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational) is a symbolic, rule-based architecture that models human cognition as the interaction between declarative memory, production rules, and working memory. ACT-R has been used to model a wide range of cognitive…

The history of cognitive architectures: from early models to modern developments
The development of cognitive architectures can be traced back to the 1950s, when researchers in the field of artificial intelligence started to develop models to simulate human thought processes. One of the first and most influential cognitive architectures was the General Problem Solver (GPS), developed by Allen Newell and Herbert Simon in the late 1950s.…

What are cognitive architectures and why are they important?
Cognitive architectures refer to theoretical frameworks or models that aim to simulate the human mind and its workings. These models aim to explain how the mind processes information, solves problems, makes decisions, and performs various other functions. They provide a systematic and structured understanding of the mind and its functions, which can help us in…
