Document Summary
Across fields, it"s a representation of something that excludes unimportant detail and information. Focuses on the environment: a scale model of a home made of cardboard (not used too much in cognitive science, a categorization scheme for the students in my class, a stimulation of a hurricane. What is a cognitive model: usually a computer program that models some aspect of thought. What is cognitive architecture: a programming environment or set of tools for making cognitive models ex) speed of learning and memory retrieval, sore building stimulations of human responses. The sore is governed by the us military. Actr is another model of cognition: the very thing that gives you the tool, limits the way you can make you think. Kinds of cognitive architectures: symbolic- operates at the level of discrete symbols. Typical characteristics of symbolic architectures: declarative/ procedural memory distinction- explain learning. Justifications: hm (henry milson) and other brain damages.
