A Programme embodying Insight and Representation Changes in Problem Solving

摘要

Much Al research has resulted in interesting conclusions about the possibility of developing computer systems able to model human behaviour while problem solving. In this paper we aim to expound a computer programme which shows insight, as precisely defined by Simon, when solving non trivial problems. The system is designed to model representation changes as they presumably take place while human problem resolution processes. We give a full account of the successive phases and procedures focusing on the features of the programme which lead to results regarded as insightful when the problem is solved by a human mind.
