Episode notes
Intelligence as Problem-Solving
- Newell and Simon define intelligence as the capacity for general problem-solving.
- They aim to explain the mind in non-mental terms, adhering to the naturalistic imperative.
Relevance Realization and Heuristics
- Relevance realization is crucial for navigating the combinatorial explosion of the problem space.
- Heuristic processing, while susceptible to bias, is essential for efficient problem-solving.
Essentialism and Problem Formulation
- Newell and Simon's essentialist heuristic led them to mistakenly believe all problems are essentially the same.
- This oversight blinded them to the importance of problem formulation, especially for ill-defined problems.
