As the nature of online gaming changes to accomodate vast, persistent virtual worlds, there is a growing need to populate them with inhabitants capable of dynamic, adaptable, fruitful interactions with players. In this paper we argue that by separately placing abstract compentencies in the agent and concrete domain knowledge in the environment, we can build simple intelligences that exhibit sop...

The hypothesis is considered that: Once an AI system with roughly human-level general intelligence is created, an “intelligence explosion” involving the relatively rapid creation of increasingly more generally intelligent AI systems will very likely ensue, resulting in the rapid emergence of dramatically superhuman intelligences. Various arguments against this hypothesis are considered and foun...

Theory of multiple intelligences (MI theory) is a new theory human intelligence structure, which provides theoretical guidance for teaching optimization. This study aims to understand the effect on biological high school students. In this quasi-experimental study, experimental group received instruction based MI and control traditional lectures. The formal assessment scale [youth version] was u...

telligence was conceived in the last two decades of the 20th century: Frames of Mind, Gardner (1983); Beyond IQ, Sternberg (1985); The Bell Curve, Herrnstein and Murray (1994); and Emotional Intelligence, Goleman (1995). Gardner’s book, the first of them all, did not cause any particular stir on its publication, and remained discreetly in the background. That of Sternberg raised some dust due t...

BACKGROUND The teaching and learning of clinical skills is a key component of nurse education programmes. The clinical competency of pre-registration nursing students has raised questions about the proficiency of teaching strategies for clinical skill acquisition within pre-registration education. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to test the effectiveness of teaching clinical skills using a multip...
