Ability to Add New Knowledge as an Issue in Cognitive Architectures
This capability of an architecture is strictly concerned with the addition
of knowledge into the system by outside means
(such as direct programming by a designer or user).
Thus this is a separate issue from the
ability to learn which is more
of an autonomous action, or at least occurs within the agent
itself. In considering the ability to add new knowledge, one may
ask if the task is very easy (e.g., adding new data to a store
of knowledge) or very difficult (requiring fundamental changes to the
architecture to incorporate the new knowledge). In most cases, the
answer to this question dependent on both the architecture itself and
the type of knowledge which is to be incorporated.
