The Newell test for a theory of cognition
JR Anderson, C Lebiere - Behavioral and brain Sciences, 2003 - cambridge.org
Newell (1980; 1990) proposed that cognitive theories be developed in an effort to satisfy
multiple criteria and to avoid theoretical myopia. He provided two overlapping lists of 13 …

The nature and plausibility of cognitivism
J Haugeland - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1978 - cambridge.org
Cognitivism in psychology and philosophy is roughly the position that intelligent behavior
can (only) be explained by appeal to internal “cognitive processes,” that is, rational thought …
