    The Nature of Explanation
    Craik theorized that our brain's understanding of the world allows us the power to make small-scale mental models and predict events in order to learn. Craik, K. J. W.. The Nature of Explanation. United Kingdom, Cambridge University Press, 1943.
  • Theory of the Human Operator in Control Systems. Part I: the Operator as an Engineering System. Part II: Man as an Element in a Control System

    Craik viewed the brain more as the engineer in the situation and not so much as the scientist. These papers, written by Craik, were published after his early death.
