Reactivity in Soar

Reactivity in Soar

Soar's recognitional memory allows it to react to changing situations in a dynamic environment. When a sensor detects a change, it relays this information to working memory (via encoding productions). If the input is appropriate for the current context, productions may fire in the current decision cycle to act on it immediately. If the input is not within the current context, no action will be taken because no productions will fire. This modulation of perception with respect to the current context gives Soar saliency in domains that require perception and coordinated action, such as those for robotics.
