Jerry,

First, it is good to see someone posting to the ACT-R list.  I think you
might want to look at the literature and see if any there are any
experiments which look at just what people are aware of as explicit
knowledge and what they are not aware of.  This seems to be a pretty good
question for a few experiments because, off the top of my head, I don't
think many people have looked at what "explicit knowledge" constitutes and
what it excludes.  There is some evidence, from knowledge elicitation while
developing expert systems, that experts are not completely aware of their
knowledge, but I don't think anyone has really looked at this in any great
detail, i.e. *exactly what* are they not aware of, and why they not aware
of some things, but aware of other bits of their knowledge.  Theoretically,
to carry this a step further, I have some trouble with the notion that
people are completely unaware of procedural knowledge.  Sure it is
difficult to explain how to ride a bike, but that is because it is a motor
skill, and motor skills might not translate into words as easily as
something more cognitive, like playing chess for example.  I think if you
force people to think about what they know, more and more of the knowlege
comes out.  I am not sure if the simple fact that some things are difficult
to talk about, and difficult to quantify, perhaps because someone has never
had to talk about some aspect of their expertise before, that this
necessarily means that this knowledge is somehow unavailable or not
explicit.

These are interesting questions though, and a good area for research.

It has been suggested that declarative chunks are explicit in that humans
are consciously aware of the contents of declarative chunks and can reflect
on their content.  However, it is not clear to me that the "type" of a
declarative chunk is something that can necessarily be reflected on. Thus,
if a human has a declarative chunk type  "ISA noun", it is not necessarily
the case that the human can reflect on that type. Humans may know that
words
belong to various categories without explicitly being able to reflect on

I would like to argue that at least with respect to language processing,
knowledge of language is pretty much implicit. That is, although we can be
taught that such and such a word is a noun or a verb, such explicit
knowledge of grammatical categories does not come into play in language
processing for native speakers of a language. My own experience with a
second language, where I was explicitly taught the grammar of the language,
was that I never got very good at the language so long as I relied on such
explicit knowledge.

I do not share the more extreme view that there is some independent language
processing module, although this would explain the implicitness of language
knowledge. However, I am grappling with the issue of how this implicit
knowledge of language maps onto ACT-R's distinction between declarative and
procedural knowledge. My current thinking is that knowledge about the
grammatical categories of words should be declarative, but implicit...

You are invited to participate in the 11th Conference on Computer-Generated
Forces and Behavior Representation (CGF&BR).  The challenge before the
modeling and simulation community is to connect knowledge and theory of
human behavior with robust modeling technologies to deliver computer
representations that act realistically without human intervention.  The
annual CGF&BR Conference provides a forum to address the full scope of human
behavior modeling across the spectrum of simulation application areas
extending from training and mission rehearsal to analysis, acquisition,
planning, and experimentation, for both military and non-military
environments.  The conference enables modeling and simulation application
users and technical communities to meet, share ideas and experiences,
identify gaps in current capabilities, discuss new research directions, and
highlight promising technologies.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INFORMATION
The CGF&BR Conference invites papers, panel discussions, and tutorials on
issues affecting how individuals, groups, teams and organizations are
represented in models and simulations.  Abstracts are reviewed and
considered for selection by the Program Committee.  

Papers
Papers may be submitted for presentation in either of two formats, depending
on the preferences of the presenter: Traditional Paper Session or
Interactive Session.  Traditional Paper Sessions are lecture-style
presentations of 15-20 minutes followed by a brief (5 min.)
question-and-answer period.  Presentations are displayed through electronic
slides (e.g., PowerPoint).  The Interactive Session involves a longer
(90-120 minute) period of multiple simultaneous presentations by several
presenters, and provides an opportunity for continuous interaction with
conference attendees.  The Interactive Session allows supporting material in
wallboard/posterboard displays and/or technology demos.  The submission
requirements are the same for Traditional Paper Sessions and the Interactive
Sessions - with presenters providing abstracts and full papers by the due
dates.  In both cases, if accepted, the full papers appear in the conference
Proceedings.  The due date for paper abstract submission is January 11,
2002.

Panel Discussions
Panel discussions are 60-90 minute talk slots with several speakers focusing
on different aspects of a common topic that is of interest to the CGF&BR
community.  Time will be allowed for Q&A with the audience following speaker
presentations.  Proposals for panel discussions may be submitted through the
on-line abstract submission system.  Panel discussion abstracts should
provide a title for the panel, the proposed speakers' names and affiliations
(with the panel chair identified), and a justification for why the
discussion topic is timely and of interest.  Proposals for panel discussions
will be reviewed by the Program Committee.  If accepted, each panel
discussant must provide an abstract summarizing the main points in their
presentation.  These abstracts will be published in the Proceedings.  The
due date for panel abstracts is the same as that for paper abstracts:
January 11, 2002.

Tutorials
Tutorials provide conference participants the opportunity to gain new
insights, knowledge, and skills in an area related to the interests of the
CGF&BR community.  Tutorial topics are presented in a lecture-and-discussion
format.  Tutorials may be a half-day (3 hours, plus breaks) or a full-day (6
hours, plus breaks) in duration, and will take place on Monday, May 6, 2002.
Tutorial proposals may be submitted through the on-line abstract submission
system.  Tutorial abstracts should describe the material that will be
covered, provide a justification of the tutorial for the CGF&BR audience,
explain how the tutorial will be conducted, and give a schedule of events
with time allocations.  Proposals for tutorials will be reviewed by the
Program Committee.  If accepted, a description of the tutorial will be
included in conference announcements and in the Proceedings.  The due date
for tutorial abstracts is the same as that for paper abstracts:  January 11,
2002.

Individuals who wish to submit abstracts for papers, panel discussions, or
tutorials should review the appropriate abstract submission form posted at
<http://www.sisostds.org/cgf-br/11th/index.htm>.

Subject: Explicitness of Declarative Chunks
Message-ID: <mailman.69.1617128263.6729.act-r-users@act-r.psy.cmu.edu>

Good reference Frank, so Ericsson and Simon review some of the expert
elicitation methods and note that some of the research supports the view
that complementary methods can uncover some of the deeper more
proceduralized knowledge of experts, even though Ericsson and Simon still
would rather just use verbal protocol analysis elicitation method.  They
reference Burton et al. (1988) who compared four elicitation methods
(formal interview, protocol analysis, laddered grid and card sort) and
found that protocol analysis produced fewer of the rules given by domain
experts than the other three elicitation methods.  They also note that this
task was a perceptual task (recognition of rocks by geologists) - so, much
like riding a bike it is difficult to discuss perceptual tasks.  They also
reference Brown and Day (1983) who found that experts in English, "were
unable and unwilling to give precise rules for summarization during a
standard interview.  However, summarization rules could be readily
extracted from these subjects' thinking-aloud protocols, produced while
they were actually summarizing sample text".   Ericsson and Simon's general
viewpoint here is that concurrent verbal protocol analysis is a productive
methodology compared to other techniques, but they also suggest that given
the right knowledge elicitation process, experts will elicit more of their
underlying procedural knowledge.  So the distinction between what experts
are aware of, and what they are not aware of becomes more complex.

Ericsson and Simon go on to say that, "one kind of information that
subjects clearly cannot report, because it is not available in STM, are the
cues that allow them to recognize stimuli.  The result of the process of
recognition (i.e. the thing recognized) is heeded and can be reported, but
not the intermediate steps in the recognition process.  Inability to report
recognition cues must not be confused with failure to report contents of
STM."  But here again, the recognition of the stimulus is assumed or
implied.  But I am almost certain, that if asked, an expert could surely
offer details about the recognition of stimuli important stimuli.  So
again, is the recognition procedural?  I would say yes.  Is the expert
unaware of the rules governing the recognition of the procedural knowledge?
In at least some cases, depending on the task, I would say no.

A very good book in this area is Ericsson and Simon's Verbal Protocol
Analysis.  It is essentially a theory of how and what people can talk
about, and how they do it.  It is worth getting in hardcover, if you
can, because it is very useful.

Cheers,

Please, do not open the attachment sent from "Amy Powell-Moman"

As many of you have probably recognized, this is a new virus, quite 
dangerous. I assme, you will get some notices from your computing

for reading mail on Windows. They are the prey of all these viruses. 
Use free Netscape, Eudora, Mulbery etc mailers that do not have a 
dangerous habit to auto-open attachments.

Again we hope you all have had a profitable year modeling.  From my 
perspective at CMU, there are four major trends in my contact with 
the ACT-R world:

First, there seems to have been a happy diaspora of ACT-R modelers 
from CMU -- , Mike Byrne at Rice, Kevin Gluck at Williams Air Force 
Base, Frank Lee at RPI,  Mike Matessa at Nasa Ames, and Dario 
Salvucci at  Drexel.  Moreover, as the postings on the ACT-R mailing 
list indicate, we have numerous active ACT-R cells around the world 
of people who have passed through our summer school. There is much 
going on that is novel and insightful, which I only learn about at 
conferences or when I get asked to review papers.  It makes me feel 
quite grandfatherly and proud of you all.  However, we are acquiring 
a few new faces here at CMU whom you will meet if you come for the 
next ACT-R summer workshop - soon to be announced by Christian. 

Second, we continue to be working on the LAB (Learning, Application, 
and Brain) agenda.  Numerous of us (Dan Bothell, Monchu Chen, Scott 
Douglass, Craig Haimson, Myeong-Ho Sohn) are now working on GT-ASP 
(soon to become CMU-ASP) that marries the learning and application 
agenda.  In it and the Algebra Tutor Project (Steve Blessing, Scott 
Douglass, Steve Ritter, and Eli Silk) we are looking to bridge the 
full distance from eye movements to learning of significant 
competences.  Marsha Lovett and Christian Lebiere are each carrying 
forward more projects than I can possibly keep track of.  Our fMRI 
work (Cam Carter, Adam Goode, Jon Fincham,  Yulin Qin, Myeong-Ho 
Sohn) is also progressing well.  My proudest accomplishment there is 
our work predicting the BOLD response from ACT-R.

Third, Lynne Reder has begun to move CMU towards having a true 
Cognitive Modeling Center.  This has many aspects with different 
degrees of connection to ACT-R.  One of the emerging ideas has been 
to offer courses on agents and video games.  This has raised the 
importance of modeling in ACT-R spatial reasoning as it would apply 
in such situations - the topic questions at the center of each of 
Glenn Gunzelmann's and Phil Pavlik's new research.  I understand that 
much is happening on this topic within ACT-R but outside of CMU.

Finally, there is the continued evolution of my perception of ACT-R 
5.0.  As the poll revealed (and I will collate and distribute the 
final results), there has been remarkable acceptance and use of it 
already.  The one thing that I have constant second thoughts about is 
the reformulations of activation computations surrounding the 
competitive latency equation and the equation itself.  We hope to 
have this resolved in the next few months.  ACT-R 5.0 will be the 
topic of this summer school and, again, Christian will soon have an 
announcement out about that.

Best Wishes for the New Year.

<div><font face="New York" color="#000000">Again we hope you all have
had a profitable year modeling.&nbsp; From my perspective at CMU,
there are four major trends in my contact with the ACT-R world:<br>
<br>
First, there seems to have been a happy diaspora of ACT-R modelers
from CMU -- , Mike Byrne at Rice, Kevin Gluck at Williams Air Force
Base, Frank Lee at RPI,&nbsp; Mike Matessa at Nasa Ames, and Dario
Salvucci at&nbsp; Drexel.&nbsp; Moreover, as the postings on the ACT-R
mailing list indicate, we have numerous active ACT-R cells around the
world of people who have passed through our summer school. There is
much going on that is novel and insightful, which I only learn about
at conferences or when I get asked to review papers.&nbsp; It makes me
feel quite grandfatherly and proud of you all.&nbsp; However, we are
acquiring a few new faces here at CMU whom you will meet if you come
for the next ACT-R summer workshop - soon to be announced by
Christian.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
Second, we continue to be working on the LAB (Learning, Application,
and Brain) agenda.&nbsp; Numerous of us (Dan Bothell, Monchu Chen,
Scott Douglass, Craig Haimson, Myeong-Ho Sohn) are now working on
GT-ASP (soon to become CMU-ASP) that marries the learning and
application agenda.&nbsp; In it and the Algebra Tutor Project (Steve
Blessing, Scott Douglass, Steve Ritter, and Eli Silk) we are looking
to bridge the full distance from eye movements to learning of
significant competences.&nbsp; Marsha Lovett and Christian Lebiere are
each carrying forward more projects than I can possibly keep track
of.&nbsp; Our fMRI work (Cam Carter, Adam Goode, Jon Fincham,&nbsp;
Yulin Qin, Myeong-Ho Sohn) is also progressing well.&nbsp; My proudest
accomplishment there is our work predicting the BOLD response from
ACT-R.<br>
<br>
Third, Lynne Reder has begun to move CMU towards having a true
Cognitive Modeling Center.&nbsp; This has many aspects with different
degrees of connection to ACT-R.&nbsp; One of the emerging ideas has
been to offer courses on agents and video games.&nbsp; This has raised
the importance of modeling in ACT-R spatial reasoning as it would
apply in such situations - the topic questions at the center of each
of Glenn Gunzelmann's and Phil Pavlik's new research.&nbsp; I
understand that much is happening on this topic within ACT-R but
outside of CMU.<br>
<br>
Finally, there is the continued evolution of my perception of ACT-R
5.0.&nbsp; As the poll revealed (and I will collate and distribute the
final results), there has been remarkable acceptance and use of it
already.&nbsp; The one thing that I have constant second thoughts
about is the reformulations of activation computations surrounding the
competitive latency equation and the equation itself.&nbsp; We hope to
have this resolved in the next few months.&nbsp; ACT-R 5.0 will be the
topic of this summer school and, again, Christian will soon have an
announcement out about that.<br>
<br>

               EIGHTH ANNUAL ACT-R SUMMER SCHOOL AND WORKSHOP
               ==============================================

               Carnegie Mellon University - July/August 2002
               =============================================


ACT-R is a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing cognitive
models for tasks that vary from simple reaction time to air traffic control.
The most recent advances of the ACT-R theory were detailed in the recent
book "The Atomic Components of Thought" by John R. Anderson and Christian
Lebiere, published in 1998 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, and in the 
online proceedings of the 2001 ACT-R Post-Graduate Summer School 
(act.psy.cmu.edu).
Each year, a two-week summer school is held to train researchers in the use
of the ACT-R system, followed by a three-day workshop to enable new and
current users to exchange research results and ideas.  The Eighth Annual
ACT-R Summer School and Workshop will be held at Carnegie Mellon University
in Pittsburgh in July/August 2002.

SUMMER SCHOOL:

The summer school will take place from Monday July 22 to Thursday August 1,
with the intervening Sunday free.  This intensive 10-day course is designed
to train researchers in the use of ACT-R for cognitive modeling.  It is
structured as a set of 7 units, with each unit lasting a day and involving
a morning theory lecture, a web-based tutorial, an afternoon discussion
session and a homework assignment which students are expected to complete
during the day and evening.  The final three days of the summer school will
be devoted to individual research projects.  Computing facilities for the
tutorials, assignments and research projects will be provided.  Successful
student projects will be presented at the workshop, which all summer school
students are expected to attend as part of their training.

To provide an optimal learning environment, admission is limited to a dozen
participants, who must submit by April 1 an application consisting of a
curriculum vitae, a statement of purpose and a one-page description of the
data set that they intend to model as their research project.  The data set
can be the applicant's own or can be taken from the published literature. 
Preference in admission will be given to applicants who can demonstrate 
some familiarity with ACT-R, such as a completed model.  Applicants will be
notified of admission by April 15, with early notification upon request.
Admission to the summer school is free.  A stipend of up to $750 is 
available
to graduate students for reimbursement of travel, housing and meal expenses.
To qualify for the stipend, students must be US citizens and join to their 
application a letter of reference from a faculty member.

WORKSHOP:

The workshop will take place from the morning of Friday August 2 to Sunday
August 4 at noon.  Mornings will be devoted to research presentations, each
lasting about 20 minutes plus questions.  Participants are invited to
present their ACT-R research by submitting a one-page abstract with their 
registration.  Afternoons will feature more research presentations as well
as discussion sessions and instructional tutorials. Suggestions for the
topics of the tutorials and discussion sessions are welcome.  Admission to
the workshop is open to all.  The early registration fee (before July 1) is
$100 and the late registration fee (after July 1) is $125.

A registration form is appended below.  Additional information (detailed
schedule, etc.) will appear on the ACT-R Web site (http://act.psy.cmu.edu/)
