The CLARION cognitive architecture project aims to investigate the fundamental structures of the human
mind by synthesizing many intellectual ideas into a
unified, coherent model of cognition. In particular, our goal is to explore the interaction of implicit and explicit cognition,

(i.e., learning that involves first acquiring
