Rule-Based Translation as Constraint Resolution

This paper is mainly concerned with the rule-based approach to Machine Translation. It begins with some general remarks on the relation between rule-based and empirical approaches to MT, stressing the importance of the diversity of goals for MT research and the contributions both types of approach can make. In the following section, an assessment is given of the major difficulties for rule-base...

Rule-Governed Versus Contingency-Shaped Self-Control in Preschool Children

Web-based programmed instruction: evidence of rule-governed learning

Seventeen graduate students in two classes worked on a web-based programmed instruction tutoring system as the first technical exercise in a Java programming course. The system taught a simple Java applet to display a text string in a browser window on the world wide web. Students completed tests of near transfer and far transfer before and after using the tutor and again after a lecture on the...

Rule-governed behavior: teaching a preliminary repertoire of rule-following to children with autism.

In particular, little or no previous research has attempted to establish rule-governed behavior in individuals who do not already display the repertoire. This study consists of two experiments that evaluated multiple exemplar training procedur...
