John Anderson and I wrote a book chapter on the implications of ACT-R 
for education:

Anderson, J. R., & Schunn, C. D. (2000). Implications of the ACT-R 
learning theory: No magic bullets. In R. Glaser (Ed.), Advances in 
instructional psychology: Educational design and cognitive science, 
Vol. 5 (pp. 1-33). Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum.

It obviously doesn't cover all possible implications or all possible 
educational effects, but it does spell out a number of interesting 
relationships.

You can get a copy of the chapter from Helen Borek or myself if you 
don't have easy access to the book.
