Closeness and Reformulation: Two Cognitively-Based Ideas for Problem Solving.

Abstract

The approach presented to problem-solving has two components: Closeness and reformulation. The closeness measure is a cognitively-based heuristic function, and reformulation provides the problem-solver with new ways of looking at the goal and is mediated by the closeness measure. The proposed ideas are applied to many problems that have traditionally been used to test problem-solving ideas.
