Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational  

Definition

  • "ACT-R is a theory of the mechanisms that make up cognition, a cognitive architecture. The theory posits a fixed set of mechanisms that use task knowledge to perform a task thereby predicting and explaining the steps of cognition that form human behavior. Thus, it is one example of a unified theory of cognition […]. Currently, it also predicts the activation of brain regions used to generate behavior by using mechanisms that make use of procedural (how to do a task) and declarative (facts about the world) knowledge, and working memory as activation, to perform tasks." (Ritter et al., 2019).
