ACT-R Theory

ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational) is a psychological model of human cognition that explains how our brain processes information to think, learn, and remember. It suggests that the mind is made up of interconnected modules responsible for different tasks, such as memory, perception, and decision-making. These modules work together through a set of rules, much like a computer program, to simulate human thought processes. ACT-R helps researchers understand and predict behaviors like problem-solving, learning, and reasoning by modeling how information is stored, retrieved, and used in the brain.
