Most-cited papers in Cognitive Science

Finding Structure in Time

Jeffrey L. Elman · 1 Mar 1990

Time underlies many interesting human behaviors. Thus, the question of how to represent time in connectionist models is very important. One approach is to represent time implicitly by its effects on processing rather than explicitly (as in a spatial representation). The current report develops a proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which…

Cognitive Load During Problem Solving: Effects on Learning

John Sweller · 1 Apr 1988

Considerable evidence indicates that domain specific knowledge in the form of schemas is the primary factor distinguishing experts from novices in problem‐solving skill. Evidence that conventional problem‐solving activity is not effective in schema acquisition is also accumulating. It is suggested that a major reason for the ineffectiveness of problem solving as a learning device, is…

Categorization and Representation of Physics Problems by Experts and Novices*

T. H. Michelene, Paul J. Feltovich, Robert Glaser · 1 Apr 1981

The representation of physics problems in relation to the organization of physics knowledge is investigated in experts and novices. Four experiments examine (a) the existence of problem categories as a basis for representation; (b) differences in the categories used by experts and novices; (c) differences in the knowledge associated with the categories; and (d) features…

Structure‐Mapping: A Theoretical Framework for Analogy*

Dedre Gentner · 1 Apr 1983

A theory of analogy must describe how the meaning of an analogy is derived from the meanings of its parts. In the structure‐mapping theory, the interpretation rules are characterized as implicit rules for mapping knowledge about a base domain into a target domain. Two important features of the theory are (a) the rules depend only…

Why a Diagram is (Sometimes) Worth Ten Thousand Words

Jill H. Larkin, Herbert A. Simon · 3 Jan 1987

We distinguish diagrammatic from sentential paper‐and‐pencil representations of information by developing alternative models of information‐processing systems that are informationally equivalent and that can be characterized as sentential or diagrammatic. Sentential representations are sequential, like the propositions in a text. Diagrammatic representations are indexed by location in a plane. Diagrammatic representations also typically display information that…
