Psychology and AI at a Crossroads
A challenge in building useful artificial intelligence (AI) systems is that people need to understand how they work in order to achieve appropriate trust and reliance. This has become a topic of considerable interest, manifested as a surge of research on Explainable AI (XAI). Much of the research assumes a model in which the AI automatically generates an explanation and presents it to the user, whose understanding of the explanation leads to bett…
The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance
In this updated and expanded edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance, some of the world's foremost experts on expertise share their scientific knowledge of expertise and expert performance and show how experts may differ from non-experts in terms of development, training, reasoning, knowledge, and social support. The book reviews innovative methods for measuring experts' knowledge and performance in relevant tasks. S…
A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing
The purpose of this article is to invigorate debate concerning the nature of analogy, and to broaden the scope of current conceptions of analogy. We argue that analogizing is not a single or even a fundamental cognitive process. The argument relies on an analysis of the history of the concept of analogy, case studies on the use of analogy in scientific problem solving, cognitive research on analogy comprehension and problem solving, and a survey …
The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance
This book was the first handbook where the world's foremost 'experts on expertise' reviewed our scientific knowledge on expertise and expert performance and how experts may differ from non-experts in terms of their development, training, reasoning, knowledge, social support, and innate talent. Methods are described for the study of experts' knowledge and their performance of representative tasks from their domain of expertise. The development of …
Metaphor on the World Wide Web
This article provides information about sites on the World Wide Web that are concerned with figurative language. Webs, internets, surfing, and navigating are new metaphors for an information age. The purpose of this article is to provide information about the sites on the World Wide Web (WWW) that are concerned with figurative language

The cognitive psychology of expertise and the domain of interpreting
This article surveys findings from cognitive science research on expertise, with a focus on applications to the domain of simultaneous interpreting, including methods of knowledge elicitation that might be useful in the empirical investigation of proficiency at simultaneous interpreting. Defining features of expertise include its developmental progression, the nature of expert memory organization, and the nature of expert reasoning. I explore way…

Alternative Schemes for the Analysis off Basic Versus Applied Science
Hoffman and Deffenbacher (1993) presented a multidimensional scheme for analyzing the relations of basic and applied science, reliant on concepts from ecological psychology. In his commentary, Vicente (1994) argued, among other things, that the scheme can profitably be simplified. Although we are sympathetic to Vicente's viewpoint and some of his goals, differences between Vicente's prescriptive purposes (the transformation of traditional human f…
An Analysis of the Relations Between Basic and Applied Psychology
While pondering the question What is modern applied cognitive psychology? we encountered a set of issues that are difficult to tackle, simply because the available characterizations of the relations of so-called basic and applied science are inade- quate to the task of describing the full variety of factors involved. Here, we present a descriptive scheme that extends Brunswik's (1955, 1956) notions of ecological validity and representativeness. T…

What Could Reaction-Time Studies Be Telling Us About Metaphor Comprehension
This article reviews modern experiments involving chronometric measurements of comprehension processes for various forms of nonliteral language. The goal of such research is to explore hypotheses about cognitive processes and memory systems. The sequence of mental operations involved in comprehending figurative language and the sequence of phenomena experienced by the comprehender depend on the nature of the stimuli, instructions, and reaction-ti…
