Abstract
Argues that an adequate theory of discovery must bring the formal approach of computer science and cognitive psychology closer to the empirical approach of history and the social studies of science. The authors argue that a computer simulation is analogous to a theory of scientific investigation in that it is comprised of a number of models of activities and entities. A model of experimentation is offered, illustrating an approach to discovery simulation that shows how formal and empirical approaches may be integrated.
