Lessons from Defining Theories of Stress

Abstract

In this chapter we look for lessons applicable to cognitive architectures from several popular theories of stress. The goal is to specify mechanisms that can be implemented within the architecture or changes to current mechanisms to simulate the effect of stress on embodied cognition. We examine theories from Wickens, from Hancock and Warm, and from the biophysiology literature. We have chosen to incorporate these theories of stress into the ACT-R architecture because of its modular construction, but the intent is for the ideas presented here to be applicable to a wide range of cognitive architectures.
