Abstract
The idea we suggest is that, since the beginning, artificial intelligence was a multidisciplinary field, but not completely an interdisciplinary one. As a matter of fact, afterwards the success and the decay of cybernetics in the 40’s, many branches concur to the birth of artificial intelligence, but some trends (for example, symbolic and logic approaches) prevail soon over others one. Our aim is to recover some trends of that period in order to try out their usefulness for current research in the present development of simulative artificial intelligence within cognitive science.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
