The ultimate goal of work in cognitive architecture is to provide the foundation for a system
capable of general intelligent behavior. That is, the goal is to provide the underlying structure …

In this article we describe an approach to the construction of a general learning mechanism
based on chunking in Soar. Chunking is a learning mechanism that acquires rules from goal-…

An excellent introduction to mathematical logic, this book provides readers with a sound
knowledge of the most important approaches to the subject, stressing the use of logical methods …

The purpose of this article is to begin the process of engaging the international research
community in developing what can be called a standard model of the mind, where the mind we …

In this article we take a step towards providing an analysis of the Soar architecture as a basis
for general intelligence. Included are discussions of the basic assumptions underlying the …

This chapter treats the architecture, which is the fixed structure that provides the frame within
which cognitive processing in the mind takes place. It describes what an architecture is and …

The Soar project is an attempt to develop and apply a unified theory of natural and artificial
intelligence. At the core of this effort is an investigation into the architecture–the fixed base of …

Practice makes perfect. Correcting the overstatement of a maxim: Almost always, practice
brings improvement, and more practice brings more improvement. We all expect improvement …

Interactive simulation environments constitute one of today's promising emerging technologies,
with applications in areas such as education, manufacturing, entertainment, and training. …

A novel architecture is presented for combining rule-based and case-based reasoning. The
central idea is to apply the rules to a target problem to get a rst approximation to the answer; …
