Snelsire, Robert W. – 1969
The problem of designing computer programs that will approach human capabilities in pattern recognition is discussed. Human beings are much better at recognizing patterns that are highly structured than at recognizing patterns that are not. In contrast, a computer system's performance in pattern recognition is almost independent of the amount of…

Cecchini, Arnaldo; Frisenna, Adriana – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1987
Reviews the problems of classifying gaming techniques and suggests a heuristic approach as one solution. Definitions of simulation, models, role, and game and play are discussed to help develop a classification based on a technique called gaming simulation. (Author/LRW)

Hendry, L. B.; Thornton D. J. E. – British Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 1976
Sutton-Smith's games typologies were applied to television viewing preferences in order to construct a television classification based on Sutton-Smith's three types, and ascertain whether or not 204 adolescents designated as potents, strategists, and fortunists could be distinguished in terms of their games involvement, attitudes to sport, and…

Harris, Richard J. – 1971
This extension of Harris' classification system permits classification of the interval-scale properties of any 2 x 2 (two person, two choice) game. The system is compared to taxonomies developed by various previous researchers. It is shown to permit compact description of any 2 x 2 game as an octet of numbers. It also permits rapid classification…

Shubik, Martin; Brewer, Garry – 1971
A questionnaire was designed to aid the interested professional in describing, characteristics and analyzing his game, model, or simulation, and tested on a number of Department of Defense (DOD) games. An over-riding goal for the questionnaire was to produce a categorization scheme for games in general. The different sections of the questionnaire…
