Abstract
Abstract : A partial theory is presented of thinking, combining a number of classical and modern concepts from psychology, linguistics, and AI. In a new situation one selects from memory a structure called a frame: a remembered framework to be adapted to fit reality by changing details as necessary, and a data-structure for representing a stereotyped situation. Attached to each frame are several kinds of information -- how to use the frame, what one can expect to happen next, and what to do if these expectations are not confirmed. The report discusses collections of related frames that are linked together into frame-systems.

The time required to recognize that two perspective drawings portray objects of the same three-dimensional shape is found to be a linearly increasing function of the angular difference in the portrayed orientations of the two objects.

It is argued that at least two types of description of the pattern must be utilised if any significant pattern generalisation is to be achieved, and in general that all picture interpretation tasks involve descriptions in two domains.

The main conclusion is that it is possible to separate a picture or scene into the constituent objects exclusively on the basis of monocular geometric properties (onThe basis of pure form); in fact, successful methods are shown.

The program is based on the strategy of recognizing objects step by step, at each time making use of the previous results, and tries to reinterpret the scene taking the obtained information into consideration.
