CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP ON
MODELS OF COMPLEX HUMAN LEARNING
Cornell University
Ithaca, New York U.S.A.
June 27-28, 1989
Sponsored by ONR Cognitive Science Branch
This two-day workshop will bring together researchers whose
learning research gives attention to human data and has
implications for understanding human cognition. Of particular
interest is learning research that relates to complex problem-
solving tasks. There is an emphasis on symbol-level learning.
The workshop will be limited to 30-50 attendees. Workshop
presentations will be one hour in length, so as to allow in-depth
presentation and discussion of recent research. Areas of interest
include:
Acquisition of Programming Skills
Apprenticeship Learning
Case Based Reasoning
Explanation Based Learning
Knowledge Acquisition
Learning of Natural Concepts and Categories
Learning of Problem Solving Skills
Natural Language Acquisition
Reasoning and Learning by Analogy
The initial list of presenters is based on past proposals
accepted by ONR. This call for papers solicits additional
submissions. The current list of ONR-sponsored presenters
includes:
John Anderson (Carnegie Mellon)
