Marshall J. Farr – författare

Originally published in 1987, this book reports the proceedings of a conference held in 1983 at Stanford, California. The purpose of the conference was to bring together individuals whose research reflected advanced theoretical thinking and empirical evidence on the combined analysis of cognitive, conative, and affective processes, the role of these processes in learning from instruction, and the importance of individual differences therein. The Editors believed that this volume made an early and important contribution to the reemphasis and reexamination of the conative and affective aspects of human performance, in coordination with cognitive psychology, in the study of aptitude, learning, and instruction. It takes its place as Volume 3 of the Aptitude, Learning, and Instruction series.

This small set of 3 titles, was first published in 1980 and 1987. The three volumes make important contributions to the study of cognitive process analyses of aptitude; learning and problem-solving; and conative and affective aspects of human performance, in coordination with cognitive psychology. Taken together the editors hoped they would provide at least one solid platform for a more comprehensive integration of cognitive, conative, and affective theory and research in the instructional psychology of the future.

This text records the dramatic new prospects for computers in instruction in school, the workplace and high technology research facilities. If offers teachers and trainers a vision of how their professions will be fundamentally altered by these new systems and how their roles will be changed. The challenges and opportunities exposed by these developments in intelligent instruction by computer are many. Topics discussed include: apprenticeship and training in the workplace; automated tutoring in interactive environment; two approaches to simulation composition for training; and transfer, adaption, and use of intelligent tutoring technology.
