Long Term Learning: Integration of Knowledge Acquisition and Knowledge Compilation
Abstract
This Report is the initial quarterly progress report for grant N00014-92-J-1945, entitled 'Long Term Learning: Integration of knowledge acquisition and knowledge compilation.' It covers the period July 1, 1992 to September 30, 1992. Two major objectives were achieved during this report period. The first was to consolidate our understanding of the sources of the learning that occurred in the protocols of 9 subjects learning physics over a period of about 5 hours each. These protocols were first analyzed by Micki Chi and her colleagues then modelled by my group. Despite some considerable effort, however, no one had ever been able to isolate the exact places where the subjects' beliefs shifted. During this report period, we conducted a large number of protocol analyses aimed at isolating and quantifying the subjects' knowledge acquisition. We eventually found evidence for 3 different acquisition processes.
