I will be moderating, so if there are any problems or questions feel free to ask me directly. Registration is quick and easy and can be done with a link in the upper right corner. Feel free to request additional forum categories be added, (for instance if you want to use it for a class you are teaching.) http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/forum/ It seems that I can control access very specifically, so it is quite easy for me to give someone moderator rights to a forum category related to a class they might be teaching.

Thanks, -- Richard From ppavlik at andrew.cmu.edu Wed Jul 9 10:13:32 2003 From: ppavlik at andrew.cmu.edu (Phil Pavlik) Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2003 10:13:32 -0400 Subject: [ACT-R-users] Forum In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <000001c34624$47b2c110$6501a8c0@PHIL> Clarifications on the intent of the forum (in reply to queries): - what is its intended relation to this act-r-users email list? what sort of things would I post to the forum rather than to the email list? It is intended for questions and items of less importance then would go on the mailing list. Many beginning users are afraid to ask these questions to the entire ACT-R community, since they don't want to send an e-mail to all the act-r users. Also, the forum can be used as a resource for teaching. It is also good for advanced users that want to conduct long windy discussions or make comments or such that they don't want to send to everyone. The advantage of this format over e-mail is that it can be looked at and responded to with more leisure and without clogging everyone's e-mail. It also provides a more casual format for networking. (The short answer is that you can post whatever you want, but unlike the e-mail list, you cannot count on everyone seeing it.) - for what purposes would I want/need to "log in" to the forum, and what username & password would I use? The way I have things set up logging in allows you to post. (But you can view messages without registering.) Once you register (which takes 3 minutes and is a link in the corner of the page) you can check a box and it will retain your information so it will auto-login form your machine. Having login rather than just free open use promotes a little order since all posts will be tagged with your user name so we can see who wrote them. When registering, you can use your real name (which I have done), or you could uses a pseudonym of your choosing. You can change this later if you want. Pick whatever you like for a password. - I can see that a b/board can be useful for a focused discussion, but my own preference would be to keep as much as possible on the email list. Traffic on the list is not heavy, and is unlikely to become so. That way, I'm kept aware of what's going on, and the discussion comes to me, I don't have to remember to check it out every so often. Important posts should still be sent to all the users (act-r-users at act-r.psy.cmu.edu) Don't ever post to the forum (http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/forum/) if you need to communicate with everyone. I will repost some of the important e-mails on the forum so that they are handy however. My concern is that the reason the traffic has been low on the list is because people don't like to send to a list that goes to so many people. If this is why traffic is low, then we probably need this forum to communicate better. If no one uses it then I was wrong. Philip I.

Because of the number of submissions we had this year we are forced to reduce the amount of time that individual talks are allotted relative to last year. This year the individual talks will be limited to 20 minutes including questions, which is 5 minutes shorter than last year, so please be prepared for that. The two symposia, one on parameter optimization and one on interfacing ACT-R to external simulations, will each be one and a half hours long. The organizers of those symposia should plan accordingly. Speakers who wish to contribute to the workshop proceedings (which is not an obligation but is strongly encouraged) should email their contributions by Saturday July 19th to me (db30+ at andrew.cmu.edu). I apologize for the short notice, and hope that it is not a problem for anyone who whishes to contribute. The contributions are limited to a maximum of 6 pages for the individual presentations, 6 pages per presenter in each symposium, and no limit for the invited speaker. The contribution may consist of an abstract, paper, slides, or any combination thereof. This year, we would like the submissions sent in pdf format to avoid any issues with formatting or software version incompatibilities. Adobe Acrobat is the canonical software for creating pdf files, but there are many other options. If you don't have software for creating pdf files, let me know and I can help you set up something.

To do what you want you would do this: (p direct-retrieval-of-a-chunk =goal> isa as-prob op =op ... ==> +retrieval> =op ... ) That would request a retrieval of that chunk explicitly. It is still subject to the retrieval threshold, but it is immune to the effects of partial matching. Then, of course you'd need a follow-up production to harvest that retrieval.

I am a PHD student and I am trying to use the ACT-R/PM to develop my thesis. I have already worked with ACT-R 5 successfully. The trouble I am having are in the use of the Perceptual-Motor modules. Positively I could not use any of them. I have already searched the WEB sites also unsuccessfully. No examples or tutorials with the use of the Perceptual-Motor modules. For example, how can I use the command "speak" in the SPEECH module? If any of you has examples with the use of the Perceptual-Motor modules, send it to me, please. I will be very grateful.

Have you tried the tutorials at: http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/tutorials/ and than specifically Unit2, e.g.: http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/tutorials/unit2.htm And for speech, see the bottom of the following page: http://chil.rice.edu/byrne/RPM/docs/commands.html - Hedderik. From hedderik at cmu.edu Tue Jul 29 18:53:43 2003 From: hedderik at cmu.edu (Hedderik van Rijn) Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 18:53:43 -0400 Subject: [ACT-R-users] Emacs ACT-R mode Message-ID: <81307C02-C217-11D7-B72D-000A956B93BA@cmu.edu> Hi, a couple of questions (or better, grumbling noises about the lack of editing support for ACT-R code in Emacs) during the summerschool made me dust off and update the ACT-R mode I made for ACT-R 4, a couple of years ago. Removed most of the "additional" functionality that I never used (e.g., outline mode) and some of the functionality that would have taken me too long to convert to ACT-R 5 syntax (reformatting of prules), so the new version is somewhat less extensive than the old version. However, it still does syntax highlighting, adds an identifier (i.e., prules) menu and some automatic indentation etc. See here: http://www.van-rijn.org/actr-mode for the lastest version. Please let me know if you find any bugs etc. - Hedderik.
