[ACT-R-users] About inhibition

[Danielle S. McNamara]

For evidence (and a simulation) that inhibition involves activation (albeit not productions in this case), see

McNamara, D. S., & McDaniel, M. A. (2004). Suppressing irrelevant information: Knowledge activation or inhibition? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, & Cognition, 30, 465-482.

> Inhibition is the activation of a production and disengagement of another production. 
> So ACT-R look on the inhibition as one kind of activation of production.

> Is that proper?
