Human Problem Solving

Book • 1972
This book, first published in 1972, applies ideas from artificial intelligence to cognitive psychology.

Newell and Simon develop a formal theory of information processing systems and report studies on symbolic reasoning tasks.

They analyze the data using the information processing paradigm and present a comprehensive theory of human problem-solving.

The work supports the physical symbol system hypothesis and was a culmination of their research program that led to the Turing Award in 1975.
