ACT-R
- adaptive control of thought – rational
- Lateral inferior prefrontal cortex is responsible for retrieval from elsewhere in the brain
- Memory deficits associated with prefrontal lesions
- Greater activation is needed here for longer retrieval & this has been shown in imaging studies
- Variation in WM span due to different resources between people
- ACT-R as a computational model of the mind
- How to account for dual task interference?
- Similarity of tasks OR activation being spread too thinly
