GARCIA-LEAL, Óscar  y  PEDROZA-CABRERA, Francisco. Knowledge based systems: An unexplored alternative in Psychology. J. behav. health soc. ISSUES [online]. 2011, vol.3, n.1, pp.5-16. ISSN 2007-0780.  https://doi.org/10.5460/jbhsi.v3.1.27672.

From the earliest appearances of Expert Systems, also called Knowledge-Based Systems, about 1960's, the use of these tools has expanded dramatically. Beyond the applied utility of these tools, the analysis of knowledge about the topic on which they are experts is of great theoretical interest. Also the practical consequences of training new professionals should be considered, too. The aim of this paper is to characterize what is an expert system, to analyze their role in structuring available knowledge about a particular domain, and finally a discussion about some of the contributions of expert systems to the field of Psychology and to clinical diagnosis in general is presented.

Palabras llave : Expert system; knowledge-based system; psychology.
