Concept formation by machine

Computers can be programmed to process information and to develop classification rules (e.g., they can play chess and make decisions about business or military problems). Essentially such devices are programmed to mimic the process of problem solving required of subjects in laboratory experiments on concept learning. In this sense, machines have formed concepts; but their functions remain relatively impoverished. Efficient linguistic behaviour has proven particularly difficult to produce in a machine, despite numerous attempts. Yet there is no evidence that human concept formation is based on any mode of handling information that in principle could not be built into a machine. It is almost an article of faith among many investigators that human thinking can be explained mechanistically in physiological terms, but the scientists themselves do not yet seem to have developed concepts adequate for producing machines that can approach the full range of human talent.
