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 …

In the past few years connectionist models have greatly contributed to formulating theories of
cognitive development. Some of these models follow the approach of developmental …

An overview of the emerging discipline of computational developmental psychology,
emphasizing the use of constructivist neural networks. Despite decades of scientific …

Beyond the truism that to develop is to change, the process of developmental change itself
has been relatively neglected in developmental psychology. Methodologically, most …

We distinguish traditional cognition theories from hierarchically complex stacked neural
networks that meet many of Newell's criteria. The latter are flexible and can learn anything …

The digital transformation of higher education was heavily accelerated by the COVID-19
crisis which posed the need for high quality and inclusive digital education. Such a …

In this commentary I explore nonclassical connectionism (NCC) as a coherent framework for
evaluation in the spirit of the Newell Test. Focusing on knowledge integration, development …

We use the Newell Test as a basis for evaluating ACT-R as an effective architecture for
cognitive engineering. Of the 12 functional criteria discussed by Anderson & Lebiere (A&L) …

Newell wanted a theory of cognition to abide by some explicit criteria, here called the Newell
Test. The test differs from the Turing Test because it is explicit. The Newell Test will include …

The Newell Test as it is proposed by Anderson & Lebiere (A&L) has the disadvantage of
being too positivistic, stressing areas a theory should cover, instead of attempting to exclude …
