TI  - The emergence of choice: Decision-making and strategic thinking through analogies
Y1  - 2013/08/05/
N2  - Consider the chess game: When faced with a complex scenario, how does understanding arise in one?s mind? How does one integrate disparate cues into a global, meaningful whole? how do humans avoid the combinatorial explosion? How are abstract ideas represented? The purpose of this paper is to propose a new computational model of human chess intuition and intelligence.  We suggest that analogies and abstract roles are crucial to solving these landmark problems.  We present a proof-of-concept model, in the form of a computational architecture, which may be able to account for many crucial aspects of human intuition, such as (i) concentration of attention to relevant aspects, (ii) 
how humans may avoid the combinatorial explosion, (iii) perception of similarity at a strategic level, and (iv) a state of meaningful anticipation over how a global scenario 
may evolve.
