Reviews

This well-written and scholarly monograph stems from the tradition of Allen Newell's approach for developing a unified theory of cognition....Although the development of the author's model is the primary goal of the book, the discussion of the work of other researchers is balanced and insightful. -Journal of Mathematical Psychology
