 Below is one model that can be put through its paces by called
(do-conditions).


(defun do-trial (type color word)

  (reset)

  (eval `(mod-chunk goal dimension ,type word ,word color ,color))

  (goal-focus goal) (run) *time*)


(defun do-conditions ()

       (list <bold>(do-trial 'color 'red 'red)

</bold>             (do-trial 'color 'red nil)

<bold>           (do-trial 'color 'red 'dog)

</bold>             (do-trial 'color 'red 'green)

             (do-trial 'word 'red 'red)

             (do-trial 'word nil 'red)

             (do-trial 'word 'red 'dog)

             (do-trial 'word 'red 'green)))
