Attend this seminar to explore decades of insights from cognitive architecture research and its implications for understanding minds. Learn about the fundamental concepts critical to comprehending minds, including architectures, symbols, and intelligence, through the lens of multi-decade research spanning three architectural lineages: Xaps, Soar, and Sigma. Discover how cognitive architectures must be both integrative—accommodating the full range of capabilities required of a mind—and general, applying across many problems and domains. Examine the structure of the technology space underlying work on minds, including multi-dimensional maps of technologies and criterial tradeoffs across them. Gain perspective on the personal intellectual journey of a leading researcher in the field, including key maxims that have guided a career dedicated to seeking insight into mind and its associated disciplines through architectural exploration. The presentation draws from extensive experience in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and computer science research, offering reflections on the study of minds as functional entities that enable intelligent behavior.
