| The
IDA model of cognition is a fully integrated
artificial cognitive system reaching across the full spectrum
of cognition, from low-level perception/action to high-level
reasoning. Extensively based on empirical data, it accurately
reflects the full range of cognitive processes found in natural
cognitive systems. It’s meant to be a cognitive
theory of everything. As a source of plausible explanations
for very many cognitive processes, the IDA model provides
an ideal tool to think with about how minds
work.
This online tutorial offers a reasonably
full account of the IDA conceptual model, including background
material. It also provides a high-level account of the underlying
computational “mechanisms of mind” that constitute
the IDA computational model. Finally, it includes an account
of LIDA, the Learning IDA extension.

Introduction provides a brief account
of why one might want to devote time to this tutorial.
Brief Tutorial displays the LIDA Cognitive
Cycle diagram. Clicking on the name of a module or process
in the list on the left focuses the display and provides explanatory
text.
Full Tutorial consists mostly of
PowerPoint presentations prepared by Stan Franklin for a class
on How Minds Work during Spring 2005 together with audio versions
of his lectures.
Neural Correlates provides
information about how parts the LIDA model are currently believed
to correspond to brain regions.
Glossary lists definitions
and examples of the various terms used in the tutorial for
the convenience of the reader working his or her way through
the tutorial. Links are to various urls that might be of interest
to the reader of the tutorial.
CCRG Home
takes the reader to the home page of the CCRG web site where
much more detailed information about the IDA and LIDA models
can be found, including references and texts of research articles
and paper, and brief biographies of the researchers.
