Plans and the Structure of Behavior

string
Book •
"'Plans and the Structure of Behavior' presents a groundbreaking framework for understanding human behavior as organized around hierarchical plans.

George A. Miller, Eugene Galanter, and Karl H. Pribram propose that individuals use 'TOTE' units (Test-Operate-Test-Exit) to guide their actions toward specific goals.

They argue that behavior is not simply a response to stimuli but is actively directed by cognitive plans.

The book explores how these plans are structured, how they are executed, and how they are modified based on feedback from the environment.

Miller, Galanter, and Pribram draw on insights from psychology, computer science, and linguistics to develop their model of human action.

The work has had a lasting impact on cognitive science and our understanding of purposeful behavior.
