Abstract

This paper examines the role of experiential knowledge in HIP via a model which is a synthesis of models of human information processing, human associative memory and attention. Using the model the decision making process is described in terms of Simon’s phases of decision making. The differential effect of experiential knowledge is explored in each phase, i.e. intelligence, design, and choice. An example of the overall process is developed and suggest ions for empirical research are presented.
