The module, which runs in Python ACT-R, simulates the role of the amygdala in cognitive activity.

It has the same cognitive functionality as Lisp ACT-R but it does not have Lisp ACT-R's perceptual and motor modules. Instead, Python ACT-R has a system for building modules by re-implementing the production system mechanism and the semantic network mechanism used to model procedural memory and declarative memory in ACT-R theory. Therefore, Python ACT-R is driven by multiple production systems operating in parallel. This is different from Lisp ACT-R, but will produce the same behavior as long as only one production system is used for modeling procedural memory.Carleton Cognitive Modelling Labhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12699043699212924675noreply@blogger.com5
