Reasoning

• Findler, N. V. [Ed.] (1979). Associative Networks: Representation and Use of Knowledge by Computer. New York: Academic Press.

  A collection of papers, each illustrating the use of semantic networks in some area of AI. The collection is interesting in that the basic semantic net formalism is adapted to quite disparate domains -- e.g., story-understanding (Reiger) and qualitative reasoning (Kuipers).

• Johnson-Laird, P. N., and Wason, P.C. [Eds.] (1977). Thinking: Readings in Cognitive Science. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

  Although fairly old now, the book collects together some major papers in human reasoning supporting, and supplementary to, the discussions in our chapter including Winston's structural descriptions of arches using semantic networks, Minsky's description of `frames', Rosch's of prototypes, and Schank and Abelson's of `scripts'.
