[ACT-R-users] A tutorial on the CLARION cognitive architecture at CogSci 2010

[Professor Ron Sun]

A tutorial on the CLARION cognitive architecture will take place on  
August 11, 2010,  at the Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science  
Society in Portland Oregon (http://cognitivesciencesociety.org/conference2010/registration.html 
)

For participants attending the CogSci2010 conference, the tutorial is  
free. But Please indicate clearly on the registration form that you  
intend to attend this tutorial.

This tutorial introduces participants to CLARION, a dual-process/dual- 
representation cognitive architecture that focuses on the distinction  
between explicit and implicit cognitive processes, as well as their  
synergistic interactions. CLARION is also integrative, involving  
cognition (reasoning, memory, learning, skill acquisition, etc.),  
motivation, metacognition, and so on.

This presentation will provide an introductory description, along with  
simulations, advanced topics, and formal results. Although some prior  
exposure to cognitive architectures and artificial neural networks can  
be helpful, prior understanding of these areas is not required, as the  
tutorial includes a detailed presentation of basic, as well as  
advanced, topics related to cognitive modeling using the CLARION  
cognitive architecture. This tutorial will enable participants to  
apply the basic concepts, theories, and computational models of  
CLARION to their own work.
