Cognitive Schemas, Laws and Tasks

This paper asks how explicit representations can support reusable cognitive schemas in knowledge-based problem solving.

Key points

  • We develop a structural framework in which schemas are organized by the information and relations required for their use, rather than introduced as unrelated primitives.
  • The framework also distinguishes context-dependent relations from more stable structures that can be reused across different representations.
  • We also show formally when a reduction of representation preserves the task-relevant solution structure.
  • The resulting task--schema interface offers a structured way to describe representational conditions relevant to problem solving.
