Questioning Mechanisms during Complex Learning

Abstract

This research investigated the psychological mechanisms that underlie human question asking and answering during comprehension and complex learning. We believe that questioning mechanisms are fundamental components of human cognition and must be integrated in contemporary models of complex learning, curiosity, creativity, conversation, and intelligence. A scientific understanding of human question asking and answering also provides critical insights on how to design dialogue facilities in intelligent tutoring systems, expert systems, and human-computer interfaces.
