“…For example, getting on a bicycle after several years may result in quick relearning, but typewriting skills may take somewhat longer (e.g., see Hill, 1957). For procedural skills that have not been developed to an autonomous stage, it appears that they are more susceptible to steeper decay functions (Brannon & Koubek, 2001).…”

Despite a century of use in assessing children for predicting academic success, IQ theory and assessments largely overlook the intellectual repertoires of adolescents and adults that are not common, including declarative, procedural, and tacit knowledge. Such knowledge and skill repertoires are essential elements of adult intellectual life and livelihood. A proposal for considering a wider range of knowledge and skills in the definition and assessment of intelligence is offered, along with ideas for moving forward in both research and applications. When intelligence is considered beyond the lowest common denominator, it is clear that there are many important questions have yet to be answered about adolescent and adult intellectual development, maintenance, and decline, occupational performance, relations between intelligence and nonability traits, and the role of engagement in day-to-day intellectual functioning. The proposed focus is to reconsider what it means to be an intelligent adult beyond the IQ measures and to recognize that adults, on average, are far more "intelligent" than they have been considered to be by traditional IQ assessments developed over the last century.

“…This report summarizesf production system models and reviews the effectiveness of a production system that models a supervisory control task. Model summaries include some comments concerning their ability to account for knowledge degradation (Brannon, 2001;Brannon and Koubek, 2001) or, in other words, the ability to account for mechanisms that could lead to forgetting or a reduced ability to retrieve knowledge from memory.…”

P.O. Box 62 AbstractThere have been significant efforts to develop cognitively plausible software architectures of human information processing in the last three decades. This report summarizes several architectures that continue to be developed. The specific type of cognitive models developed are known as production system architectures, which refers to the characterization of knowledge in terms of procedural ("how-to" knowledge) condition-action relationships consisting of declarative ("what" or factual) knowledge.To illustrate the ability for these models to instantiate human cognitive performance, a simulation using ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought -Rational) was implemented for a supervisory control task. Correlations between simulated and human learning of the task were measured and yielded correlations as high as 0.93.
