# Cognitive Architecture **Domain:** Cognitive Science / Artificial Intelligence / Systems Theory **Doc Type:** Technical Concept Node **Maturity:** Developing **Related:** [[wiki/Computational Architecture|Computational Architecture]], [[wiki/Recursive Self-Model|Recursive Self-Model]], [[wiki/Joscha Bach|Joscha Bach]] --- ## Definition A **cognitive architecture** is an explicit organization of the processes and representations proposed to support perception, memory, learning, motivation, action selection, reasoning, and self-modeling within an intelligent system. ## Ontology Context This node owns system-level theories of how cognitive functions fit together. [[wiki/Computational Architecture|Computational Architecture]] owns the more general arrangement of computational components; [[wiki/Recursive Self-Model|Recursive Self-Model]] owns the specific capacity of a system to represent and update a model of itself. ## See Also [[wiki/Computational Architecture|Computational Architecture]] · [[wiki/Recursive Self-Model|Recursive Self-Model]] · [[wiki/Mechanistic Intelligence|Mechanistic Intelligence]] · [[wiki/Joscha Bach|Joscha Bach]] · [[wiki/Society of Mind|Society of Mind]]
