In this paper we present the rationale adopted for the integration of the knowledge level of DUAL-PECCS, a cognitive system for conceptual representation and categorization, with two different cognitive architectures: SOAR and LIDA. In previous works we already showed how the representational and reasoning framework adopted in DUAL-PECCS was integrable with diverse cognitive architectures, i.e. ACT-R and CLARION, making different representational assumptions and adopting diverse knowl- edge processing mechanisms. The additional integrations presented here suggest that the underlying knowledge representation and reasoning structure adopted in DUAL-PECCS can be used as a unifying framework for the knowledge level of agents en- dowed with different cognitive architectures. The current version of the system has been experimentally assessed in a task of conceptual categorization where a target concept illustrated by a simple common-sense linguistic description had to be identified by resorting to a mix of categorization strategies. The output has then been compared to human and artificial responses. The novel integration allowed us to extend our previous evaluation.

Abstract

In this paper we present the rationale adopted for the integration of the knowledge level of DUAL-PECCS, a cognitive system for conceptual representation and categorization, with two different cognitive architectures: SOAR and LIDA. In previous works we already showed how the representational and reasoning framework adopted in DUAL-PECCS was integrable with diverse cognitive architectures, i.e. ACT-R and CLARION, making different representational assumptions and adopting diverse knowl- edge processing mechanisms. The additional integrations presented here suggest that the underlying knowledge representation and reasoning structure adopted in DUAL-PECCS can be used as a unifying framework for the knowledge level of agents en- dowed with different cognitive architectures. The current version of the system has been experimentally assessed in a task of conceptual categorization where a target concept illustrated by a simple common-sense linguistic description had to be identified by resorting to a mix of categorization strategies. The output has then been compared to human and artificial responses. The novel integration allowed us to extend our previous evaluation.
