Uses of Diagrams in Solving Physics Problems
Solving physics problems usually requires geometric reasoning; a computer problem solver must use a representation that is in some respects equivalent to the use of diagrams by human problem solvers. In this paper, we review the uses of diagrams and geometric reasoning in physics problem solving programs. Next, we consider the many roles that diagrams seem to play in human problem solving, the ...
متن کاملSolving Asymmetric Decision Problems with Influence Diagrams
While influence diagrams have many ad vantages as a representation framework for Bayesian decision problems, they have a se rious drawback in handling asymmetric de cision problems. To be represented in an influence diagram, an asymmetric decision problem must be symmetrized. A consid erable amount of unnecessary computation may be involved when a symmetrized influ ence diagram is evaluate...
متن کاملModels of Competence in Solving Physics Problems
We describe a set of two computer-implemented models that solve physics problems in ways characteristic of more ond less competent human solvers. The main features accounting for different competences are differences in strategy for selecting physics principles, and differences in the degree of outomation in the process of opplying a single principle. The models provide o good account of the or...

متن کاملSolving Normal-Distribution Probability Problems with and without Diagrams
Two studies are reported that explore the usefulness of diagrams for solving normal distribution probability problems. Study 1 analyzed performance on normal probability problems from a midterm exam in a graduate level introductory statistics course. For each problem, we coded whether or not students used a diagram in their work, and whether the diagram was correct, and complete. We also coded ...
