Kenneth Craik
Kenneth Craik was a Scottish psychologist who made significant contributions to the field of cognitive science in the early 20th century. In 1943, he published a seminal monograph proposing the idea of a 'world model'—a mental representation of the external environment that organisms use to simulate potential actions and outcomes. His work anticipated the cognitive revolution in psychology and linked cognitive processes to computational models, laying foundational concepts for the later development of artificial intelligence.
