Abstract

In this paper we propose a cognitive architecture for the modelling of automatic and deliberate human behaviour as it occurs and evolves in a living environment or in interaction with machine interfaces. Such a cognitive architecture supports the timed modelling of an environment featuring a spatial topology and consisting of an arbitrary number of systems, interfaces and human components. Alternative models of short-term memory can be considered and explored, and long-term memory evolves throughout the time by exploiting experiences and mimicking the creation of expectations as part of mental modelling.
