Across fields, it is a representation of something that excludes unimportant detail and information.

Typically, it is a computer program that models some aspect of thought. For example, it might model how people do categorization, or how a mouse learns to navigate a maze. The model makes predictions that can be compared to data. If the predictions match the data, it supports the theory of underlying the model. It is a programming environment or set of tools for making cognitive models. Typically, it includes constraints on how cognition works in all people speed of learning, memory retrieval, etc. (ignoring cultural and other learned aspects). In some ways it is easier to make a model in architecture, and harder in other ways. Symbolic operates at the level of discrete symbols.
