Chris,
This is the worst comment I have ever received regarding the use of
cognitive modelling as a research tool and of ACT-R in particular. That
comment was sent to me as an argument to reject a paper submitted to
cognitive science 99 in Vancouver.
- ACT-R relies on the idea that the mind is a rule system, an idea that is
rather indefensible;
Bruno.
