ACT-R Frequently Asked Questions ListACT-R is a proposed unified theory of cognition realized as a production system. It is a unified theory of cognition, in the spirit proposed by Newell (1990, Unified theories of cognition, Harvard, Cambridge, MA), in that it is designed to predict human behavior by processing information and generating intelligent behavior itself. The ACT-R architecture integrates theories of cognition, visual attention, and motor movement.
