The source confirms the two degrees and institutions (BA from Cambridge, PhD from Edinburgh), but does not confirm the specific fields of study claimed ('Experimental Psychology' for BA and 'Artificial Intelligence' for PhD), the year 1978 for the PhD, or the postdoctoral positions at Sussex and UCSD. The claim is partially supported by the source but lacks verification of important details.
