Bassingthwaighte, James B. – Physiologist, 1985
Teaching and research in physiology encompass increasingly complex notions of the system under study. Computer modeling fosters understanding by extending the ability to formulate, test, and evaluate hypotheses about the system, and to describe experimental data. The exploration of the model system's behavior serves teaching and investigation in…

DeMeersman, R. E.; Schneider, Frederick C. – Science Software Quarterly, 1984
Describes a program which uses a series of algebraic equations calculating mean skin temperature and mean body temperature. The program, which uses the well-established physiological model by Burton, is written in Microsoft BASIC for TRS-80 microcomputers; however, it can be easily modified for other microcomputers. (JN)

Bishop, Beverly – Physiologist, 1985
Describes how a traditional neurophysiology laboratory has been computerized and how students work with digitizing on-line data. Points out advantages of computerization, including the speed, accuracy, and reliability in the acquisition, reduction, and analysis of data. Also describes four generic computer programs tailored to the particular…

Richer, Mark H. – Physiologist, 1985
Discusses: how artificial intelligence (AI) can advance education; if the future of software lies in AI; the roots of intelligent computer-assisted instruction; protocol analysis; reactive environments; LOGO programming language; student modeling and coaching; and knowledge-based instructional programs. Numerous examples of AI programs are cited.…
