Shaw, Mildred L. G.; Thomas, Laurie F. – International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 1978
Describes two BASIC computer programs to elicit and analyze grids easily and clearly. FOCUS uses a two-way cluster analytic method to re-order the constructs and the elements, and to highlight similarities and differences in the grid. PEGASUS is an interactive program which conversationally elicits a grid, and processes and offers real-time…

Illinois Univ., Urbana. Coordinated Science Lab. – 1969
In contrast to conventional information storage and retrieval systems in which a body of knowledge is thought of as an indexed codex of documents to which access is obtained by an appropriately indexed query, this interdisciplinary study aims at an understanding of what is "knowledge" as distinct from a "data file," how this knowledge is acquired,…

Hummel, Thomas J.; And Others – 1973
The objective of this research was to create a general computer program which simulates client behavior in an initial counseling interview. Through interaction with the counselor, a programmed client progresses toward the goal of verbalizing a special problem statement. Client movement is a function of the simulated variables: threat value of…

Kearsley, Greg P. – 1977
This article provides a tutorial introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) research for those involved in Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). The general theme is that much of the current work in AI, particularly in the areas of natural language understanding systems, rule induction, programming languages, and socratic systems, has important…

Norman, Donald A. – 1982
Different aspects of human-machine interaction are discussed in the five brief papers that comprise this report. The first paper, "Some Observations on Mental Models," discusses the role of a person's mental model in the interaction with systems. The second paper, "A Psychologist Views Human Processing: Human Errors and Other…

Norman, Donald A. – 1967
This paper discusses the differences between the storage problems encountered in a large library and those encountered in the human memory. Some of the properties of the human memory system and some of the major issues which affect the interaction between human users and the existing library systems are outlined. The problem of browsing is used as…
