Computer Software for Intelligent Systems.
Lenat, Douglas B. – Scientific American, 1984
Discusses the development and nature of computer software for intelligent systems, indicating that the key to intelligent problem-solving lies in reducing the random search for solutions. Formal reasoning methods, expert systems, and sources of power in problem-solving are among the areas considered. Specific examples of such software are…

The Necessity of Knowledge.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waldrop, M. Mitchell – Science, 1984
Discusses various aspects of artificial intelligence, focusing on three interrelated issues: (1) representation of knowledge, which is roughly the machine equivalent of human memory; (2) control and use of knowledge, which corresponds to human abilities in problem solving and planning; and (3) the acquisition of knowledge, or what humans call…

Computer Intelligence: Unlimited and Untapped.
Staples, Betsy – Creative Computing, 1983
Herbert Simon (Nobel prize-winning economist/professor) expresses his views on human and artificial intelligence, problem solving, inventing concepts, and the future. Includes comments on expert systems, state of the art in artificial intelligence, robotics, and "Bacon," a computer program that finds scientific laws hidden in raw data.…

Artificial Intelligence: Applications in Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thorkildsen, Ron J.; And Others – Educational Research Quarterly, 1986
Artificial intelligence techniques are used in computer programs to search out rapidly and retrieve information from very large databases. Programing advances have also led to the development of systems that provide expert consultation (expert systems). These systems, as applied to education, are the primary emphasis of this article.

Cognition of Learning Physics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Larkin, Jill – American Journal of Physics, 1981
Experienced Physicists solve simple textbook problems differently from beginning students. This paper describes these differences using a computer-implemented model that "learns." The research is set in the the context of modern computer-processing psychology, and is related to other work relevant to help people know and learn…

Computer Programming and Algebra. The Nottingham Programming in Mathematics Project.
Hart, Maurice – 1983
After noting that research and development reports indicate that there are strong psychological arguments for approaching algebraic concepts through the use of computer programming, the work of the Nottingham Programming in Mathematics Project with pupils aged 11-13 is briefly described. What is meant by understanding of a concept and how pupils…
