toc an American psychologist with a Ph.D. in 1974 from Carnegie Mellon University under thesis advisor Herbert Simon. Gilmartin and Simon extended Simon's and Barenfeld's program Perceiver, which was able to duplicate the eye movements of a chess expert by adhering to the simple relations of attack and defense into a system called MAPP (Memory-aided Pattern Perceiver) which uses the learning mechanism of EPAM, and reinforced the chunking hypothesis by subjecting MAPP to the same board reconstruction experiment that the human players faced. By determining the patterns present on the board, and restricted to the same short-term memory constraints as humans, MAPP was able to reconstruct positions with 73% accuracy.
