How much intelligence is there in Artificial Intelligence?
Claire Stevenson started her academic career in the field of developmental psychology, where she researched children's learning potential: 'so not what they already know, but what they are capable of.' She examined the development of analogical reasoning in children, i.e. their ability to find solutions to new problems based on relationships with familiar ones. 'For example, children were asked to complete the sequence: thirst is to drinking as bleeding is to bandage, wound, cutting, water or food? If you want to find the right answer, you need to apply the relationship between thirst and drinking to bleeding, instead of using familiar associations like wound or cutting.' Analogical reasoning is considered the greatest strength of human intelligence. Later on in her career, Stevenson switched to the Psychological Methods programme group, where she became fascinated by the idea of applying mathematical models to measure creative processes.
