Learning Environment for Learning Conceptual Knowledge
"... Modeling is regarded as fundamental to human cog-nition and scientific inquiry (Schwarz and White2005). It helps learners express and externalize their thinking, visualize and test components of their theories, and make materials more interesting. Particularly, the impor-tance of learners constructi ..."

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: Independent vs. Cooperative Agents
- In Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Machine Learning
, 1993
"... Intelligent human agents exist in a cooperative social environment that facilitates learning. They learn not only by trialand -error, but also through cooperation by sharing instantaneous information, episodic experience, and learned knowledge. The key investigations of this paper are, "Given t ..."

Differentiating Qualitative Representations into Learning Spaces ∗
"... The DynaLearn interactive learning environment allows learners to construct their conceptual ideas and investi-gate the logical consequences of those ideas. By build-ing and simulating causal models, students develop an understanding of how systems work. The DynaLearn interactive learning environmen ..."

Neo: Learning Conceptual Knowledge by Sensorimotor Interaction with an Environment
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUTONOMOUS AGENTS
, 1997
"... Recent developments in philosophy, linguistics, developmental psychology and artificial intelligence make it possible to envision a developmental path for an artificial agent, grounded in activity-based sensorimotor representations. This paper describes how Neo, an artificial agent, learns conc ..."

An effective metacognitive strategy: Learning by doing and explaining with a computer-based cognitive tutor
- Cognitive Science
, 2002
"... Recent studies have shown that self-explanation is an effective metacognitive strategy, but how can it be leveraged to improve students ’ learning in actual classrooms? How do instructional treatments that emphasizes self-explanation affect students ’ learning, as compared to other instructional tre ..."

We investigated whether self-explanation can be scaffolded effectively in a classroom environment using a Cognitive Tutor, which is intelligent instructional software that supports guided learning by doing. In two classroom experiments, we found that students who explained their steps during

Learning to Coordinate Without Sharing Information
- In Proceedings of the Twelfth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence
, 1994
"... Researchers in the field of Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) have been developing efficient mechanisms to coordinate the activities of multiple autonomous agents. The need for coordination arises because agents have to share resources and expertise required to achieve their goals. Previous ..."
