Books written by Allen Newell.
Newell won the Turing Award jointly with Herbert A. Simon for basic contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing in 1975.
Human Problem Solving
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”, abstracted entirely from physiological bases.
Unified Theories of Cognition
In this book, Newell makes the case for unified theories by setting forth a candidate. After reviewing the foundational concepts of cognitive science--knowledge, representation, computation, symbols, architecture, intelligence, and search - Newell introduces Soar, an architecture for general cognition.
