Human reasoners, they argue, can be modeled as symbolic \"information processing systems\" (IPSs), abstracted entirely from physiological bases. Modeling subjects with IPSs yields predictive theories of their problem-solving behavior and performance, and psychological insight into their heuristics and methods.\u003cbr\u003e Newell and Simon's previous epoch-making collaborations included the General Problem Solver, the Logic Theorist, and the Information Processing Language. This book is a careful application of those ideas from artificial intelligence - the ideas of AI's first golden age - to cognitive psychology. The authors first develop the formal theory of information processing systems. They then report studies of three symbolic reasoning tasks, and analyze that data using the information processing paradigm. In the final section, they state their comprehensive theory of human problem-solving. \u003cbr\u003e The success of the models of cognition given in this work was a major piece of evidence for the physical symbol system hypothesis, which Newell and Simon would first state a few years later. Newell went on to co-develop the Soar cognitive architecture, and Simon to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. The two jointly received the Turing Award in 1975 for the research program of which Human Problem Solving was the culmination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 938\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.94 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 08, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47356712288505,"sku":"9781635617924","price":86.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TXdnRXB3TXNEaDZ3bG54eWl5QldFdz09.webp?v=1769868706","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/human-problem-solving-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
