Allen Newell
Allen Newell (March 19, 1927 - July 19, 1992) was a researcher in computer science and cognitive psychology. He contributed to the Information Processing Language (1956) and two of the earliest AI programs, the Logic Theory Machine (1956) and the General Problem Solver (1957).
Allen Newells plea for a unified theory of cognition, titled, You cant play twenty questions with nature and win, made more than thirty years ago (1973), has been realized, although not perfected, by his colleagues. In particular, John Andersons ACT theory has become a widely popular unified architecture, successfully employed by cognitive scientists today to simulate human behavior in a wide range of tasks.
