I had just turned ten when my mom first took me to the Salisbury Chess Club at the Sage Diner. The dilapidated Sage Diner dressed as if it were in the 50s (Absolute), I was immediately enamored by the chess pieces. Soon, I established a reputation for myself as a capricious tactician able to beat all but the most experienced players.

Computer Chess History of Computer Chess The time period of 1949 and 1950 is considered to be the birth of computer chess. In 1949, Claude Shannon, an American mathematician, wrote an article titled “Programming a Computer for Playing Chess” (5). The article contained basic principles of programming a computer for playing chess. It described two possible search strategies for a move which circumvented the need to consider all the variations from a particular position. These strategies will be described
intelligence, but merely carry out lengthy complex calculations while serving as our obedient helpers. Yet the question of whether computers can think, whether they are able to show any true intelligence has been a controversial one from the day humans first realized the full potential of computers. Exactly what intelligence is, how it comes about, and how we test for it have become issues central to computer science and, more specifically, to artificial intelligence. In searching for a domain in which

Philosophers have argued for centuries about what defines reason, now on the dawn of the 21st century this age old question must be revisited. Since the ENIAC, the first mainframe, hummed to life in 1946, the chasm between humankind and machine has appeared to dwindle. Computers have insinuated themselves into the lives of millions of people, taking over the performance of mundane and repetitive tasks. With the constant

Introduction Not long ago, at the mention of Artificial Intelligence (AI) the first thing most people thought of was the science fiction image of computers capable of independent thought and possessing a human-like personality such as HAL from the movie 2001. It is not unusual now to see commercial computer games advertised and reviewed

It’s a fact that games are played between babies and their parents from the first months of life, beginning with peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake and working up to hide-and-seek just as soon as a toddler is mobile.

In deciding if a social approach is a process of how one learns I must first ask how learning is broken down.

IBM’s joint project to build Deep Blue, the most advanced chess-playing computer program that became better than any human player after beating grandmaster Kasparov in a best out of five game match. Mackworth realized how simple it was to construct a computer that could outwit a human opponent at chess, commenting that, “chess computers sit in a room and stare at a board.

Deep Blue for example, used this technique to beat the renowned chess grandmaster Gary Kasperov in 1997. After learning from past experiences, it is an attribute of intelligent behaviour to apply the gained knowledge to new settings and situations. Acting in complex environments is an aspect which describes intelligent
The Two Modes of Cognitive Processing Models and experiments presented throughout the 'Cognitive Psychology' course indicate that within the 'Information Processing' framework, 2 distinct modes of cognitive processing exist. The first, concerned with low level cognition is characterised by processing which is parallel, automatic, bottom-up and not very limited by capacity. This is most clearly demonstrated by the number of things we can hear simultaneously, see simultaneously, smell, taste
