08:30-10:00 Session 7B: An Overview of Cognitive Modeling with Soar

In this 3 hour tutorial I will introduce the concept of cognitive modeling in a cognitive architecture, and then in the Soar cognitive architecture in particular. I'll also present an example model or two, and note how this approach can help model the mind. I will note background readings in cognitive architecture, psychology for modeling, and how to run studies to test models. I will also talk about getting published in this area, and discuss briefly venues for publication and their importance.
