Newell's Unified Theory of Cognition

Newell's Unified Theory of Cognition suggests that all human mental activities—thinking, learning, problem-solving—are governed by a single, integrated system. Instead of viewing different mental functions as separate, it proposes they operate through common processes and structures, like memory, perception, and reasoning. This framework aims to understand cognition as a unified whole, allowing researchers to develop comprehensive models of how the mind works, much like a universal blueprint that explains various mental tasks through shared mechanisms.
