Our long-term goal is to develop autonomous robotic systems that have the cognitive abilities of humans, including communication, coordination, adapting to novel situations, and learning through experience. Our approach rests on the integration of the Soar cognitive architecture with both virtual and physical robotic systems. Soar has been used to develop a wide variety of knowledge-rich agents...

We theorize that anticipatory thinking (AT) uses the same computational infrastructure as general cognition described in Common Model of Cognition. extend with results from research on event cognition. Using these building blocks, we present a five-step process model AT realized cognitive architecture components. then revisit simplifying assumptions underlying our and expand theory response. Fi...

Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

We model the performance of children on the Goswami and Brown (1990) analogy task, paying close attention to the distribution of errors children made on the task. This distribution follows a very particular pattern which, as we show, may be simulated by assuming a lack of development in the richness of children’s concepts of physical causation. This modeling is done using the hybrid cognitive a...

This paper challenges the widely accepted claim that "classical" cognitive architectures can explain the systematicity of cognition (Fodor & Pylyshyn, 1988). There are plausible ways of rendering more precise the systematicity hypothesis (as standardly formulated) in which it is entailed by classical architectures, and other plausible ways in which it is not. Therefore, it is not a determinate ...
