Human and machine discovery are gradual problem-solving processes
of searching large problem spaces for incompletely defined goal
objects. Research on problem solving has usually focused on
searching an `instance space' (empirical exploration) and a
`hypothesis space' (generation of theories). In scientific
discovery, searching must often extend to other spaces as well:
spaces of possible problems, of new or improved scientific
instruments, of new problem representations, of new concepts, and
others. This book focuses especially on the processes for finding
new problem representations and new concepts, which are relatively
new domains for research on discovery. Scientific discovery has
usually been studied as an activity of individual investigators,
but these individuals are positioned in a larger social structure
of science, being linked by the `blackboard' of open publication
(as well as by direct collaboration). Even while an investigator is
working alone, the process is strongly influenced by knowledge and
skills stored in memory as a result of previous social
interactions. In this sense, all research on discovery, including
the investigations on individual processes discussed in this book,
is social psychology, or even sociology.
