HT Tutorial Exercise 7 - Watch a chunk


Watching how chunks get created

Remove the hungry-thirsty rules, keeping the default ones, by using excise -task, or re-start Soar and load the default rules. Now load (source) "ht2.s7", turn watch the chunk creation trace. (Note that learning is normally turned on when Soar starts up, but we turned it off in the ht.s7 files in order to simplify the model's behaviour earlier.)

Now run the model through the impasse, and compare your trace with Trace 6.

Then init-soar and run through the impasse again, and compare your trace with Trace 7.

You can remove all learnt chunks in order to watch chunks get learned anew by using the excise command.
