Using Expert Systems To Build Cognitive Simulations.

Jonassen, David H.; Wang, Sherwood

Journal of Educational Computing Research, v28 n1 p1-13 2003

Cognitive simulations are runnable computer programs for modeling human cognitive activities. A case study is reported where expert systems were used as a formalism for modeling metacognitive processes in a seminar. Building cognitive simulations engages intensive introspection, ownership and meaning making in learners who build them. (Author/AEF)
