ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the development and evaluation of models of behavior in the AMBR air traffic control (ATC) and category learning tasks, with an emphasis on modeling constraints derived from our methodology. Our overall modeling philosophy is driven by cognitive architectures as theories of human perception, cognition, and action. Architectures are critical to the development of broad, comprehensive theories Allen Newell (1990) called unified theories of cognition (UTCs). Cognitive architectures, as instantiations of UTCs, comprise a set of fixed (or slowly evolving) mechanisms and representations on which models of a wide range of behavior can be built.
