Toward intelligent computerized clinicians

摘要

The current scientific interest in computer thinking is explored for constructing a simulated psychodiagnostician. Going beyond simply building an expert system, this paper proposes to use a self-learning and generalizing computer architecture. State Operator And Result, or the SOAR system, to model intelligent clinical behavior. Accordingly, it fosters the collection and analysis of process-tracing verbal protocols for building psychodiagnosticians. It also holds out the possibility of going beyond psychodiagnosis for functioning as a multitask clinical psychologist.
