Allen Newell
American cognitive scientist who co-developed the General Problem Solver, emphasizing human-like AI.
Quotes by Allen Newell
The symbol manipulation paradigm is central to artificial intelligence.
The goal of AI is to understand the mechanisms of intelligence.
The scientific method applies to the study of intelligence.
We are building a science of the artificial.
The human mind is a symbol processing system.
The study of human cognition is an empirical science.
The complexity of human behavior arises from the interaction of a simple architecture with a complex environment.
A unified theory of cognition must account for all aspects of human behavior.
The architecture of cognition is not arbitrary; it is constrained by the demands of the environment.
The time scale of cognition is critical for understanding its mechanisms.
Cognition operates on multiple time scales, from milliseconds to years.
The human mind is a highly adaptive system.
The study of artificial intelligence is the study of how to make machines intelligent.
The symbol level is the level at which we describe the behavior of intelligent systems.
The physical symbol system hypothesis is a foundational concept in AI and cognitive science.
The power of a symbol system comes from its ability to represent and manipulate information.
The goal of cognitive science is to understand the nature of intelligence, both natural and artificial.
The human mind is a complex information processing system.
The study of problem solving is central to understanding human intelligence.
The limitations of human cognition are as important as its capabilities.
