Previous: Selecting the Result
- Type of Problem: A rule connecting two situations is to be discovered and applied
- Formalisation: The two situations and the rule are represented symbolically

- Advantages: Symbolic descriptions avoid ambiguity and redundancy found in English
- Disadvantages: The success is crucially dependent on procedures for building the descriptions
- Humans: What internal representations do humans manipulate?
