When Should a Cheetah Remind You of a Bat? Reminding in Case-Based Teaching
نویسنده
چکیده
Case-based teaching systems, like good human teachers, tell stories in order to help students learn. A case-based teaching system engages a student in a challenging task and monitors his actions looking for opportunities to tell stories that will assist the learning process. In order to produce stories at the appropriate moment, a casebased teaching system must have a library of stories that are indexed according to how they should be used and a set of reminding strategies to retrieve stories when they are relevant. In this paper, I discuss CreANIMate, a biology tutor that uses stories to help teach elementary school students about animal morphology. In particular, I discuss the reminding strategies and indexing schemes that enable the system to achieve its educational objectives. These reminding strategies are example remindings, similarity-based remindings, and expectation violation remindings.

Imagine you have traveled to an unfamiliar city. Before you start your daily tour around the city, you need to know a good route. In Network Theory (NT), this is the traveling salesman problem (TSP). A dynamic programming algorithm is often used for solving this problem. However, when the road network of the city is very complicated and dense, which is usually the case, it will take too long fo...
متن کاملDynamic Memories: Analysis of an Integrated Comprehension and Episodic Memory Retrieval Model
Most AI simulations have modeled memory retrieval separately from comprehension, even though both activities seem to use many of the same processes. We have developed REMIND, a model that performs both episodic memory retrieval and language understanding with a single spreading-activation mechanism. This approach has a number of advantages over retrieval-only models. First, because the comprehe...

Despite their greater length, those cases didn’t any better represent objective reality than the shorter versions we see criticized he...
