The Place of Cognitive Architectures in a Rational Analysis
Abstract
It is argued that human cognition can be predicted from the assumption that it is optimized to the information-processing demands that are placed on it. Results that are taken in support of particular architectures (PDP, ACT*, SOAR) are shown to be consequences of this rationality principle of human cognition. Implications of this rationality principle for cognitive architectures are discussed. Keywords: Memory; Categorization; Rational analysis; Data processing; Cognitive architecture; Artificial intelligence.
