Constructive Knowledge Acquisition

A Computational Model and Experimental Evaluation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A volume that seeks to demonstrate how experimental psychology can proceed more successfully by investigating those aspects that are shared among different areas of research like text comprehension, categorization and learning by exploration.

---

This volume, which describes the development and experimental testing of a model of how knowledge is acquired (using LISP programming as the domain of interest), will be of value to all cognitive scientists, AI researchers, and cognitive psychologists.
