Preface
Thepaperscolieeted here -- all， b itten beiw~n/982
and 1988 -- explore various aspects of the relevance of ar tiheial
intelligence to psychology.
B，，cause they focus on differing sp~ifics under this general
unifying theme， they originally appea~d in a wide range of

the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London) A few we~
compo~d for deliberately interdisciplinary publications: vol+
umes on education， on scientific th~ry， and on adaptation in ill-

that artificial intelligence is psychologically irrelevant
I have made only minor textual revisions to the papers them-
selves. Contextual references to the original sources have been
