Publisher Description: First published in 1972, 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" (IPSs), abstracted entirely from physiological bases. Modeling subjects with IPSs yields predictive theories of their problem-solving behavior and performance, and psychological insight into their heuristics and methods. |
