What is Human Problem Solving about?

First published in 1972, this monumental work develops and defends the authors information processing theory of human reasoning. 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. Newell and Simons 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 AIs 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. 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 ye
