> John Anderson, Professor of Psychology and Computer Science at
> Carnegie Mellon University and creator of the leading computational
> system for simulating human thought (the cognitive architecture
> ACT-R), will focus on how one might improve ACT-R in accord with the
> criteria Anderson & Lebiere proposed for the Newell Test.  He will
> begin with a review of ACT-R theory and the web of evidence that
> supports it and go on to review the assessment Anderson & Lebiere gave
> of ACT-R vs. connectionism regarding a set of functional criteria for
> human-level intelligence set forth by Allen Newell.  Professor
> Anderson argues that those among the Newell functionalities on which
> ACT-R or other cognitive theories have done well are ones that do not
> distinguish humans from other primates.  Finally, he will discuss what
> he and his colleagues have done and hope to do to get ACT-R to address
> the Newell functionalities that are unique to humans.
