Turing reduction
A Turing reduction shows one decision problem is no harder than another: membership is decided by an algorithm that queries an oracle for the other problem in single steps.
Turing test
The Turing test, Alan Turing's 1950 'imitation game' from Computing Machinery and Intelligence, tests whether a text-based machine can pass as human to an interrogator; distinguished from Winograd, Lovelace, and MIST alternatives.
