[ACT-R-users] computational basis of act-r

[Chris Chatham]

The researcher in question had referred me to Oreilly and Munakata's 2000
text "Computational explorations in cognitive neuroscience"  Cambridge, MA
MIT Press.  He also cited McClelland as being influential to his thinking
(althought you probably could have guessed that one).
