[ACT-R-users] Applicarions using ACT-R?

[Salvucci,Dario]

Hi Bonnie,

The Distract-R work has continued with a few NHTSA projects and collaborations with driving folks at Wisconsin and Iowa. The goal is to use cognitive modeling as one leg of the driver-distraction evaluation stool: guidelines for high-level design heuristics, modeling for rapid prototyping and prediction, and empirical studies for detailed results and analysis.

Hi folks,
I'll be giving a short presentation about ACT-R to an internal group at IBM next week and would like to highlight places where ACT-R is being used in practical applications other than academic research.
I'll have time for just one slide on the theory, one slide on the variety of scientific models, and one slide on real-world applications. I don't want to miss anything in this third slide, hence this email.

  *   CogTool is obviouslya real-world application (though its not using much of the ACT-R theory) -- I won't forget that one! ;-)
  *   I was going to talk about cognitive tutors, because even though I don't think the things out of CarnegieLearning actually use ACT-R, the understanding of human learning that preceded the commercial product was obtained from ACT-R models (e.g., showing the learning at the production level, not problem-difficulty level). (Please jump in and tell me if I am wrong about this, Ken or Al or anybody.)

I'm looking specifically for any application where anyone is making any money, or saving taxpayers money (for you government folks), or making something safer in the real world (e.g., identifying fatigue or driver distraction or whatever).

Thanks!
Bonnie
