A cognitive architecture is a computational model that attempts to emulate real human cognition, but at the level of larger unuts than {[artificial neurla networks}}. For example, a cognitive architecture may have a single (complex) unit to represent working memory. This can be used as a awy to understand human cognition or as inspiration for artificial human-like intelligence. Influential example include SOAR and ACT* ACT-R. The {[regret model}} described in the book also has a form of cognitive architure including units for emotional response and counter-factual reasoning.
