In cognitive science we are generally interested in studying software agents which are based upon the perception-action cycle. In particular, we are interested in control policies which react to our perceptions in a way that will move us towards some goal.
A reactive agent deterministically translates events into reactions. For example, I may want to declare that (= a (+ b c)), then in this case, I am creating a reactive agent that translates values of b and c to a new value for a.
One important consideration when dealing with agents, is their reaction time. This is especially important in turn based games which may have a reaction time set by a clock.
