Tutorial: The CLARION Cognitive Architecture

The half-day tutorial introduces participants to the CLARION cognitive architecture and presents a detailed description, as well as simulation examples, advanced topics, and demonstrations. It will combine conceptual (psychological), theoretical, and implementation aspects of the architecture. Participants should have some prior exposure to cognitive architectures and artificial neural networks. Preferably, participants should also have some experience with programming languages (in particular Java). However, prior understanding of these areas can be limited, as both basic and advanced topics related to cognitive modeling using CLARION will be covered.
