Abstract
In our paper we present a mathematical formalization and computer simulation of the classical Luchin’s psychological experiments concerning the mechanization in problem-solving. These experiments involved volume-measuring problems and are well suited for formal state-space representation, adopted from AI. Several search strategies are used for obtaining prescribed goals. We also show the possible use of this formal representation for the analysis and interpretation of data, gathered through actual psychological experiments.
