Abstract

A cognitive architecture is a domain-generic computational cognitive model that may be used for a broad, multiple-domain analysis of cognition and behavior. It embodies generic descriptions of cognition in computer algorithms and programs. Social simulation with multi-agent systems can benefit from incorporating cognitive architectures, as they provide a realistic basis for modeling individual agents (as argued in Sun 2001). In this article, an example of a cognitive architecture will be given, and its application to social simulation will be outlined.
