--- abstract: 'In this paper two approaches to problem solving, search and reflection, are discussed, and combined in two models, both based on rational analysis (Anderson, 1990). The first model is a dynamic growth model, which shows that alternating search and reflection is a rational strategy. The second model is a model in ACT-R, which can discover and revise strategies to solve simple problems. Both models exhibit the explore-insight pattern normally attributed to insight problem solving.' altloc: - http://tcw2.ppsw.rug.nl/~niels/strat.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: August 7-10 conference: Nineteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society confloc: 'Stanford, California' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Taatgen given: Niels A. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1997 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-06-15 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/06/84 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Shafto given: Michael G. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Langley given: Pat honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 684 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/684/3/strat.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'problem solving, insight theory, dynamical systems, ACT-R, cognitive modelling, architectures of cognition, reversal-shift learning, learning' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:11 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 727-732 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: 'Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum' refereed: FALSE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:32:51 subjects: - cog-psy - comp-sci-mach-dynam-sys - comp-sci-mach-learn - dev-psy succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: A Rational Analysis of Alternating Search and Reflection Strategies in Problem Solving type: confpaper userid: 398 volume: ~
