This paper describes a method of analysing information based on theories about the way in which human beings tackle this problem. The method has been realized as a computer program and applied to the analysis of statements in a particular programming language. The application of an “intelligence modelling” approach to statement analysis leads to interesting possibilities particularly in connection with the correction of inaccuracies, and it is suggested that such an “error-tolerant” interface could lead to more effective man-machine communication in the future.
