ACT-UP An ACT-R toolkit library This library allows its users to experiment with the ACT-R theory (Anderson 2007) and prototype cognitive models. It is based on Common Lisp, providing a Lisp API to functions of Declarative Memory, Procedural Memory and more. It is light-weight, scalable and fast. http://act-up.psy.cmu.edu/ (C) Copyright 2010, David Reitter (C) Copyright 2010, Carnegie Mellon University Beta distribution This version of ACT-UP is in the testing phase. Please comment on its functionality by writing to reitter@cmu.edu. Requirements (technical) SBCL or OpenMCL/CCL Common Lisp systems on any operating system. Limited testing has also been done with LispWorks. Requirements (human) Some programming experience, ideally in Common Lisp Basic understanding of the ACT-R cognitive theory (optional - tutorials included) Documentation - Tutorials (units 1-4). The tutorial gives an introduction to cognitive modeling in ACT-UP. It is adapted from the widely successful ACT-R 6 tutorial. - API documentation - "How do I.." quick-start document. - Reitter, D. & Lebiere, C. (2010).
