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

[Alexander Petrov]

I find it quite remarkable that a discussion triggered by the claim that
"the fundamental method of computation in the brain is 'oscillation'"
rapidly slipped into an argument over connectionism.  Apparently, the 
latter has emerged as a kind of Osama Bin Laden of the cognitive world ;-)

Connectionism is not the same as the dynamic system approach. Both claim to 
be neurologically grounded (as does ACT-RN) but otherwise there is little 
overlap. There are researchers who work at the intersection of the two 
approaches but they are a minority.
