That sounds right to me. It gives what types of information are processed in each area, and it gives a very explicit statement about exactly what processing each module performs.
So I look at ACT-R as sort of a minimal set of modules, where if I could figure out how to get neurons to implement the calculations ACT-R specifies in those modules (or something close to them), then I’d have a neural system that could do a very wide variety of psychology-experiment-type-tasks. As far as current progress goes, I’d say we have a pretty decent way to get neurons to implement the core Production system, and the Buffers surrounding it, but much less of a clear story for the other modules.
