This is a course on comparison of cognitive architectures. We will discuss a variety of approaches to modeling cognitive phenomena and discuss how each computational model is evaluated. Participation from many graduate students, postdocs and faculty is encouraged.Some weeks we may discuss papers. In addition to papers describing or critiquing architectures(suggestions for specific papers will be sought but I can also propose some), we will also have people in our community present some of their own modeling work and attempt to draw comparisons among approaches to similar problems.The first paper we will discuss (even though faculty were present two yearsago when we discussed the pre-print version, this topic is important) is:Roberts, S. and Pashler, H. How persuasive is a good fit? A comment on theory testing. Psychological Review Vol 107(2), Apr 2000, 358-367.
