CSM: A computational model of cumulative learning

Modeling reading development : Cumulative , incremental learning in a computational model of word naming

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

A Computational Model of Social-Learning Mechanisms

In this article we propose a computational model that describes how observed behavior can influence an observer’s own behavior, including the acquisition of new task descriptions. The sources of influence on our model’s behavior are: beliefs about the world’s possible states and actions causing transitions between them; baseline preferences for certain actions; a variable tendency to infer and ...

A Computational Model of Embodied Language Learning

Language is about symbols and those symbols must be grounded in the physical environment during human development. Most recently, there has been an increased awareness of the essential role of inferences of speakers’ referential intentions in grounding those symbols. Experiments have shown that these inferences as revealed in eye, head and hand movements serve as an important driving force in l...

Model of Learning Computational Thinking

There is a high demand for qualified information and communication technology (ICT) practitioners in the European labour market, but the problem at many universities is a high dropout rate among ICT students, especially during the first study year. The solution might be to focus more on improving students’ computational thinking (CT) before starting university studies. Therefore, research is ne...
