Implementing a Cognitive Model in Soar and ACT-R: A Comparison
Tijmen Joppe Muller, Annerieke Heuvelink, Fiemke Both · 2008
This paper presents an implementation of a cognitive model of a complex real-world task in the cognitive architecture Soar. During the implementation process there were lessons learned on various aspects, such as the retrieval of working memory elements with relative values, alternative approaches to reasoning, and reasoning control. Additionally, the implementation is compared to an earlier implementation of the model in the ACT-R architecture and both implementations are discussed in terms of cognitive theories.
