[ACT-R-users] computational basis of act-r

[Chris Chatham]

A couple of days ago, I talked to a researcher at Penn's Institute for 
Research in Cognitive Science who believes ACT-R will be outdated in the 
next couple of years.

He believed that the fundamental method of computation in the brain is 
"oscillation" and that because ACT-R has no computational similarity to the 
neurological structure of the brain, it will always be a poor modeling 
architecture.

I asked whether ACT-R might be expanded at the subsymbolic level to include 
this type of modeling.  Any thoughts here from the group, or in regards to 
the IRCS researcher's opinion?
