BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

John Anderson received his B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 1968 and his Ph.D. from Stanford University 1972. He has been at Carnegie Mellon University since 1978 where he is a professor of psychology and computer science. He has published a number of books including Human Associative Memory (1973 with Gordon Bower), Language, Memory, and Thought (1976), The Architecture of Cognition (1983), The Adaptive Character of Thought (1990), Rules of the Mind (1993), and The Atomic Components of Thought (1998). His current research is concerned with developing the ACT-R theory of cognition and involves two related enterprises. One effort is concerned with modeling the acquisition of intellectual competences with major foci being the dynamic problem solving skills such as in air traffic control and mathematical problem solving skills. This research is also tied into efforts to develop computer-based instructional systems. The second effort is concerned with using fMRI brain imaging to track different components of the cognitive architecture in the performance of complex tasks.
