ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the answers for the questions: how one comes up with ideas for production-system models, having decided on a model, how one goes about implementing it in ACT-R. It address the problem with aspiring to simulate verbal protocols can be understood if one examines how the generation of verbal protocols might relate to problem solving in ACT-R. The chapter discusses how verbal protocols might constrain production-rule modeling in a less rigorous, but more useful, way. It describes how to create a production-system model for doing a task in ACT-R without many of the distinctive ACT-R features. The chapter describes how to create some of the distinctive features of ACT-R. The chapter describes the output of the task analysis and protocol analysis, should be a set of production rules. It describes the conflict-resolution principles in the production-system model for the Tower of Hanoi simulation.
