Soar is capable of transfer within or across trials or tasks. For example, he provides interpretations for response time data, verbal learning tasks, reaso ning tasks, mental models and skill acquisition. In addition, versions of Soar have been developed that perform as intelligent systems for configuring computer systems and formulating algorithms. To learn more about recent work on Soar, see the Univ Mich Soar project site. If chunk fires, name is assigned and item is recognized If chunk fails to fire, item is not recognized The key aspect of this exampl e, is that Soar treats recognition as a problem solving activity in which it tries to recursively identify the components of the item and creates an impasse when it fails.
Transfer can be general if the productions are abstract.
