From tony.simon at psych.gatech.edu Fri Oct 4 13:18:45 1996 From: tony.simon at psych.gatech.edu (Tony J. Simon) Date: Fri, 4 Oct 1996 13:18:45 -0400 Subject: Any ACT-R/PDP Tutorial Examples? Message-ID: Folks Ashwin Ram and I are about to start teaching our Cognitive Modeling class which this time will be based quite heavily on ACT-R. My questions are the following. Have anyone out there built PDP models of any of the ACT-R tutorial examples (especially those covered in the Hypercard stack)? If so, would you be prepared to share them with us? You could send them to me as BinHexed attachments if so. I look forward to hearing from you all out there. Thanks. --Tony Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tony J.

A new version of the navigation model that appeared in chapter 5 of Rules of the Mind (and with the companion disk), which made heavy use of those features, is now available on the ACT-R web site at: ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/act-r/ftp/models/Navigation/ This directory contains the following text files and directory: * a methodology file which explains the general methodology behind the transformation * a README file which explains how to run the model * an analogmaps file which contains the new model * a loadmaps.lisp file which performs the low-level tasks such as reading the map files * a map_files directory which contains the problem maps and also: * navsim.sea.hqx, a binhexed self-extracting archive which contains all of the above, plus PICT files of the maps: mac users should download this archive instead of the individual files. Feel free to send me any feedback that you may have, Christian
