One approach in pursuit of general intelligent agents has been to concentrate on the
underlying cognitive architecture, of which Soar is a prime example. In the past, Soar has …

The book focuses on a conceptual flaw in contemporary artificial intelligence and cognitive
science. Many people have discovered diverse manifestations and facets of this flaw, but the …

Intelligence takes many forms. This study explores an insight that animals, humans, and
autonomous robots can all be analyzed as multi-task autonomous control systems …

The ability to learn from experience is a fundamental requirement for intelligence. One of the
most basic characteristics of human intelligence is that people can learn from problem …

Problem solving is often done in the context of an external display. Often there are the
physical objects that are part of a problem situation. Alternatively the solver may construct …

This article outlines explanation-based learning (EBL) and its role in improving problem
solving performance through experience. Unlike inductive systems, which learn by …

This thesis presents NL-Soar, a detailed computational model of human sentence
comprehension that accounts for a broad range of psycholinguistic phenomena. NL-Soar …

In this article we take a step towards providing an analysis of the Soar architecture as a
basis for general intelligence. Included are discussions of the basic assumptions underlying …

Here, several leading experts in the area of cognitive science summarize their current
research programs, tracing Herbert A. Simon's influence on their own work--and on the field …

In the spring of 1976, while trying to decide on which computer science graduate school to
attend, we (John Laird and Paul Rosenbloom) independently visited the Computer Science …
