Abstract

It appears that people seem to programme their behaviour on the basis of rules, derived from "computational structures". Such structures provide actions optimal and efficient in most familiar situations, are apparently easy to handle, but are not necessarily probabilistic in nature, even where uncertainty prevails. Three research programmes to identify these computational structures are discussed.
