In "Intelligence Considered", Philip Yam [Yam, Philip (1998, Winter). Exploring Intelligence: Intelligence considered, [Special Issue] Scientific American, 9(4). 6-11. ] commented that "In part to probe the genetic-environment mechanisms, the American Psychological Association (APA) convened a task force of mainstream psychologists. They [(Neisser et al., 1996)] published a 1995 report, Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns, which concluded that almost nothing could be said about the reason for the 15-point IQ difference between black and white Americans [(Yam, 1998, p. 8)]." In their summary and concluding section of their 26-paged article, Neisser et al concluded that there was "certainly no such support for a genetic interpretation. At this time, no one knows what is responsible for the differential" (p. 97).Nevo, B. (1993). In search of a correctness typology for intelligence.

If not THE most cited work in Cognitive Science, it is surely very near the top. A critical source for many developments in the field of problem solving. This book describes Newell and Simon's attempt to build a computerized "General Problem Solver" which actually failed. They discovered that human problem solving requires more domain knowledge than a computer can implement. The book documents the efforts they made in programming the computer to solve problems such as the "tower of Hanoi" and what they found about the nature of the human problem solving process. They introduce the concept of problem solving as a search in the problem space and the use of heuristics such as means-ends analysis. The studies reported in the book pave the way for using computers as a tool and an analogy to study human cognition.
