Abstract
Las arquitecturas cognitivas se definen como el conjunto de componentes esenciales de un sistema que permite el análisis de sus cogniciones y sus conductas. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar una de las arquitecturas cognitivas que resulta más plausible desde el punto de vista neuroanatómico: ACT-R es una teoría sobre el funcionamiento de la mente humana. Tras un acercamiento inicial a sus conceptos básicos, se describen sus dos niveles de computación: un nivel simbólico que contiene toda la información declarativa del sistema, y un nivel subsimbólico que está representado como un juego de procesos en paralelo. A su vez, se relacionan los módulos que componen la arquitectura con la neuroanatomía funcional del cerebro, describiendo el funcionamiento del circuito córtico-estriado-talámico.
Cognitive architectures are defined as the group of essential components belonging to a system which allows the analysis of its cognitions and behaviors. The aim of this study is to review one of the most plausible cognitive architectures from the neuroanatomic perspective: The Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (ACT-R) is a theory about how human mind works. Following an initial approach to its basic concepts its two computational levels are described, these are: a symbolic level , which includes declarative information; and a sub-symbolic level which is represented as a parallel set of processes. At the same time, architecture’s modules are related to brain’s functional neuroanatomy describing how cortico-striatal-thalamic circuit works.
