 \n\nHuman cognition involves processes and phenomena taking place at scale
 s ranging across orders of magnitude in time and complexity that Allen New
 ell called the bands of cognition. He proposed the concept of cognitive ar
 chitecture as a theoretical framework for integrating cognitive mechanisms
  across task domains and scales of activity. In this talk\, I present evid
 ence that this approach has enabled convergence within and across the band
 s of cognition. A variety of cognitive architectures\, developed in distin
 ct disciplines including cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence\
 , have converged in the cognitive band onto a consensus framework called t
 he Common Model of Cognition. Going down to the neural band\, the structur
 e of this framework and its cognitive mechanisms have been validated using
  neuroimaging data. Functionally\, this mapping enables the development of
  neuro-symbolic architectures that combine the strengths of neural learnin
 g and generalization and symbolic representations and inference. Going up 
 to the rational band\, bounded rationality is enabled by reflecting the st
 atistical regularities of the environment in the design of the cognitive m
 echanisms. However\, systematic deviations from rationality known as cogni
 tive biases emerge from the interaction of knowledge and processing limita
 tions of cognitive architectures. Further up into the social band\, integr
 ating large groups of interacting cognitive agents enables the emergence o
 f social and organizational behavior. I conclude by discussing current cha
 llenges for cognitive architectures including providing a roadmap to the c
 onvergence of human knowledge and cognitive mechanisms for the development
  of artificial general intelligence.\n
