Cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence

To improve cooperation between psychology of thinking and artificial intelligence, it could be useful to elucidate the present theoretical approaches to thinking. The latter have also been affected by cybernetics and computer science (informational approaches, problem space, heuristics computer simulation, frames and scripts). More recently, cognitive psychology has become crystallized, concentrating on complex cognitive systems. Within its framework considerable attention is now being devoted to mental representation, which is the object of our investigation. Cooperation between psychology and artificial intelligence contributes to reveal specific mechanism of cognition and to promote further development of the theory of artificial intelligence and its practical application.
