Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newell and Simon's computer program, called the Logic Theorist, was designed to solve logic problems using heuristic methods similar to those used by humans. While they did make important contributions to computer-based simulations of certain cognitive processes, they did not specifically simulate human attention or control visual stimuli during experiments. They also did not introduce the first flow diagram (which had been used in various contexts for several decades prior to their work).
