===Cognitive neuroscience===
More recently, ACT-R has been used to predict patterns of brain activation during imaging experiments.<ref>Anderson, J.R., Fincham, J. M., Qin, Y., & Stocco, A. (2008). A central circuit of the mind. ''Trends in Cognitive Sciences'', ''12(4)'', 136–143</ref>  In this field, ACT-R models have been successfully used to predict prefrontal and parietal activity in memory retrieval,<ref>Sohn, M.-H., Goode, A., Stenger, V. A, Carter, C. S., & Anderson, J. R. (2003).
