Originally published in 1976 this title is an edited volume and reflects the major approaches being taken in structural learning at the time. Chapter 1 deals with the basic question of whether competence (knowledge) should be characterized in terms of rules (automata) on the one hand or associations on the other. The bulk of Chapter 2 is devoted to a series of earlier experiments on rule learning by the editor and his associates. The two contributions in Chapter 3 deal with graph theoretical models. Piagetian models constitute the subject of Chapter 4. Chapter 5 deals with attempts to stimulate human behaviour with a computer. Chapter 6 ranges over a wide variety of competence models with particular reference to logic and mathematics. In Chapter 7 the editor proposes a new theory of structural learning together with some empirical results. |Structural Learning (Volume 2) Issues and Approaches | Psychology
