The most recent advances of the ACT-R theory were detailed in a recent paper (Anderson, J. R., Bothell, D., Byrne, M. D., Douglass, S., Lebiere, C., & Qin, Y . (2004). An integrated theory of the mind. Psychological Review 111, (4). 1036-1060, available online: <A href="http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/publications/pubinfo.php?id=526">http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/publications/pubinfo.php?id=526</A>)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Each year, a summer school is held to train researchers in the use of the ACT-R system. The summer school will be followed by a three day workshop (July 21-23) during which ACT-R researchers will meet and present their work. Details of this workshop will be announced later.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The summer school will take place from Saturday July 15 to Thursday July 20. This intensive 6-day course is designed to train researchers in the use of ACT-R for cognitive modeling. It is structured as a set of six 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 participants are expected to complete during the day and evening. Computing facilities will be provided.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>To provide an optimal learning environment, admission is limited to a dozen participants, who must submit by April 14 an application consisting of a curriculum vitae and a statement of purpose. Demonstrated experience with a modeling formalism similar to ACT-R will strengthen the application. Applicants will be notified of admission by May 4. Admission to the summer school is free. Housing will be provided in the CMU dormitories for approximately $50/day (single) or $25/day (shared).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>More information, including papers published by the ACT-R community, can be found on the ACT-R web site (<A href="http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu">http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu</A>/).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>A registration form is appended below.
