The global workspace concept itself maps very well onto ACT-R’s buVers, and the specialized processors onto ACT-R’s modules. The concept of contexts, ‘unconscious factors that shape conscious contents’, has a less clear mapping, because it has correspondence both to ACT-R’s subsymbolic contextual activation processes and to procedural memory.
