To promote the use of cognitive systems, it is essential that tools such as high-level languages and development environments are created to allow the modeler to focus more on the problem domain, and less on the nuances of a particular architecture. This tutorial introduces a development environment and high-level behavior representation language called Herbal that represents a step towards creating tools to support a wide range of cognitive model users. The design of Herbal is based on a study of what questions users ask of a model (Haynes, Councill, & Ritter, 2004). It appears to offer a faster way to program Soar.
