Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society

There have been a number of production system models which have recently made substantial advances in modeling higher-level cognition. These type of model offers only comprehensive approaches to the modeling of higher level cognition. This symposium will involve presentations by four exemplars of this approach to cognitive modeling (ACT, CAPS, EPIC, and SOAR). The presentations will try to illustrate the range of applications to which such models are appropriate, what the similarities and differences are among the various architectures, and what some of the interesting research questions are within each architecture.
