[ACT-R-users] Has 'Conceptual Knowledge' been modeled? (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Kelley, Troy D CIV (US)]

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

We have integrated ConceptNet with our robotics architecture SS-RICS - which 
is a production system architecture based on ACT-R.

ConceptNet is a conceptual ontology that provides a variety of information 
such as similarity judgments.

However, we found that it was not sufficient for a robot because it contained 
very little robot specific information, or information that a robot needs to 
know about (like waypoints, path planning and landmarks).

There are a few older papers here: www.ss-rics.org

Hope that helps a little

Subject: [ACT-R-users] Has 'Conceptual Knowledge' been modeled?

ACT-R Group,

I need to either confirm that there are no existsing models of "Conceptual 
Knowledge" (see definition below) in ACT-R (or any other Cognitive Modeling 
Architecture), or find them if they exist.
I have accomplished a rather exhaustive search of avaiable literature, 
including the ACT-R acrhives,and have not found anything.  So I thought I 
would send a request out to the group.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Definition - conceptual knowledge

\When we store experience in memory, we do not record every detail, as a 
physical recording would. We keep some of the information and drop other 
[perceived as unimportant] details. We can abstract from specific experiences 
to general categories of the properties of that class of experiences. This 
sort of abstraction creates conceptual knowledge involving categories: for 
example, chairs and dogs (p.154) [2]"
