What is it about?
This SIGCHI Bulletin ``Trip Report'' overviewed the 1996 SIGCHI workshop on Cognitive Architectures and Human-Computer Interaction. Proponents of 8 different architectures and/or approaches to cognitive modeling illuminated their work by attempting to modeling human performance in one of three different tasks: Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Cricket Graphs, and in a Data Search paradigm. The workshop fostered a spirit of exploration and discovery of ``which'' architectures were best suited for "what" type of HCI tasks.

Why is it important?
In many senses, this was a historic meeting. Many of those present and/or their students continue to be active in the CHI research community. Others have gone on to topics in AI and Robotics. Some of the architectures have flourished, others have fallen by the wayside.
Perspectives
This is a "fly caught in amber" publication. An important event was captured and, at least partially, recorded by this publication. It also shows that the three fields of Psychology, Human-Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence were intertwined at this period of time and, although they have now diverged somewhat, echoes and expansions of this era continue in the research of
