Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (ACT-R) is…

a cognitive architecture and theory about the structure of the human mind. It is a type of artificial intelligence model that simulates certain aspects of human cognition such as memory, attention, learning, and problem-solving. ACT-R theory suggests that all human cognition involves the coordination of a set of modular cognitive skills or productions. These modules are coordinated by a central production system that operates in a cycle of perception, comprehension, action and feedback.
