	Allen Newell, March 19, 1927—July 19, 1992 \| By Herbert A. Simon \| Biographical Memoirs
		Allen Newell was born in San Francisco on March 19, 1927, the son of Dr. Robert R. Newell, a distinguished professor of radiology at Stanford Medical School, and Jeanette Le Valley Newell.
		Allen acquired a love of the mountains that never left him (an early ambition was to become a forest ranger) and a love of sports that, combined with his 6´1" height and sturdy build, led to the high school football team.
		Allen came to doubt that lack of experimental evidence was the limiting factor in the progress of cognitive psychology.

	Allen Newell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Allen Newell (March 19, 1927 - July 19, 1992) was a researcher in computer science and cognitive psychology at the RAND corporation and at Carnegie-Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
		Allen was a graduate student at Princeton in the year of 1949 to 1950 when he studied mathematics.
		Due to the exposure to a new field known as game theory and the experiences from the study of mathematics, he was convinced that he would prefer “a combination of experimental and theoretical research to pure mathematics” (Simon).

	Reid Simmons Wins Allen Newell Medal for Research Excellence
		Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science (SCS) awarded its Allen Newell Medal for Research Excellence to Reid Simmons, research professor in the Robotics Institute.
		"Allen Newell would be proud, excited and amused, all at the same time, to see how Reid's work ties together Allen's interest in artificial intelligence with his work in human-computer interaction," said Randal Bryant, dean of SCS.
		These robots epitomize Allen Newell's interests in artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction in visionary and constructive ways.

		Newell is considered one of the founders of the field of artificial intelligence, and was a major scientific figure in the field of cognitive psychology.
		Newell was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1980 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1972.
		In Newell's last lecture to his CMU students and colleagues in December 1991, he characterized his career as ''desires and diversions." His main desire was the quest for an understanding of mind—mechanistic models of mental processes so detailed that precise predictions of human behavior could be made and tested.

	[No title]
		Newell's theory was motivated by three major problems in the field of knowledge representation, "mystification of the role of representation, the residue of the theorem proving controversy, and the conflicting webwork of opinions on knowledge" [KL:92].
		Newell provided scientific grounds on which much research could tackle knowledge in a way that does not reduce it to psychology, sociology, logic or philosophy, but allows it to be discussed and explored as a distinct topic in its own right.
		Newell's theory was also used in two other ways: to guide the generation of examples and counter-examples that helped progress the debate - an example of a visible interaction - and to exclude certain things from consideration - types of ontology (implementation-oriented ones) - and thus define the scope of debate.

		Like Van Allen, Newell was a good committee man. He was, however, frequently frustrated with himself and his subordinates because of his inability to cope instantly and perfectly with the requests and complaints of his superiors and his scientific peers.
		Newell, Pickering, and Whipple were members of the Upper Atmosphere Rocket Research Panel, chaired by Van Allen, Newell, now superintendent of the Astronomy and Atmospheric Physics Division at NRL, was coordinator of the Vanguard Science Program, as well as chairman of SCIGY.
		Newell, a member of the Technical Panel and the Vanguard Science Program coordinator, was also the supervisor of the NRL scientists, LaGow and Friedman, who had proposed the first two experiments on the Technical Panel's priority list.

	Active Skim View of: ALLEN NEWELL
		COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURE Allen, from an early stage of his research and increasingly as the years passed, was especially concerned with computational architecture and modeling the control structures underlying intelligence.
		SCIENCE STATESMANSHIP It is hard to know whether to classify the time Allen spent as a citizen of the university and of the wider science community as one of his diversions or as part of the mainstream of his scientific work.
		It is fitting to conclude this account with a selection from Allen Newell's own set of maxims for the dedicated scientist, proposed in his "Desires and Diversions" talk of December 1991, for these maxims describe his own life: To each scientific life, its own style; and each style defines a life.

		Allen Newell’s plea for a unified theory of cognition, titled, “You can’t play twenty questions with nature and win,” (1973), has been realized, although not perfected, by his colleagues.
		In particular, John Anderson’s ACT theory has become a widely popular unified architecture, successfully employed by cognitive scientists today to simulate human behavior in a wide range of tasks.

		To conclude on Newell's knowledge level hypothesis, we think that only a part of it has been exploited in the « knowledge level approaches ».

	Harvard University Press/Unified Theories of Cognition
		Psychology is now ready for unified theories of cognition--so says Allen Newell, a leading investigator in computer science and cognitive psychology.
		Not everyone will agree on a single set of mechanisms that will explain the full range of human cognition, but such theories are within reach and we should strive to articulate them.
		Newell shows how Soar's ability to operate within the real-time constraints of intelligent behavior, such as immediate-response and item-recognition tasks, illustrates important characteristics of the human cognitive structure.
