A New ACT-R Architecture for Dynamic Tasks

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop a new variant of the ACT-R architecture, ACT-R 7.0, that is capable of learning to perform a dynamic task and transferring that learning. The focus will be on modeling how different conceptual knowledge can serve to tune performance in a task, speed up the rate of learning, and enable broader transfer. The first year of the project will focus on computational modeling to establish a proof of concept of the basic approach. Later years of the project will collect data on transfer and study how the ACT-R architecture needs to be modified to accommodate such data. The last year of the project will focus on mapping this effort into an effective instructional system.
