<div>Two questions related to this: </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In line with this question, are chunk-types extended during the production compilation process? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am still learning about the production compilation process but I am assuming it can't use dynamic pattern matching functionality (or can it?) because of the rules regarding buffers necessary for production compilation to take place. Is this correct?</div>

><br>><br>> Is there a way to allow this in ACT-R 6?<br>><br>><br><br>Not using a request - at least not directly. However, you could engineer<br>a module that could do such a thing using the request parameters. If<br>
you specify the buffer with some request parameters then you could do<br>something like this:<br><br> (P* sample-production-2<br> ?? =goal><br> ?? ? ?ISA goal-chunk<br> ?? ? ?state =state-name<br> ?? ==><br> ?? +other-module><br>
?? ? ?ISA other-chunk-type<br> ?? ? ?:slot-name =state-name<br> :slot-value 42)<br><br>Then in the module's request function you'd have to pull out the<br>values for the request parameters, check whether they were valid<br>
slots, if not extend the chunk-type, then create the chunk as<br>needed.<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>ACT-R-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ACT-R-users@act-r.psy.cmu.edu">ACT-R-users@act-r.psy.cmu.edu</a><br>
