Researchers in Artificial Intelligence have discovered a great deal about reading while striving to teach computers to read. This information, however, has been of small benefit in our schools since AI researchers usually have little contact with educators or researchers involved with teaching children to read. Now, a respected AI expert examines the parallels of these two areas of study. In this clear, practical volume, he demonstrates, step by step, how to use the concepts of Artificial Intelligence for more effective reading instruction.

Roger Schank’s influential book, Dynamic Memory (CUP 1982), described how computers could learn based on what was known about how people learn. Since that book’s publication, Dr. Schank has turned his focus from artificial intelligence to human intelligence. Dynamic Memory Revisited contains the theory of learning presented in the original book, extending it to provide principles for teaching and learning, and includes Dr. Schank’s important theory of case-based reasoning and assesses the role of stories in human memory. Dynamic Memory Revisited is crucial reading for all who

In the author’s words: "This book is an honest attempt to understand what it means to be educated in today’s world." His argument is this: No matter how important science and technology seem to industry or government or indeed to the daily life of people, as a society we believe that those educated in literature, history, and other humanities are in some way better informed, more knowing, and somehow more worthy of the descriptor "well educated." This 19th-century conception of the educated mind weighs heavily on our notions on how we educate our young. When we focus on intellectua

Most six-year-olds can’t wait to go to school on that first day in September. It’s a sign of coming of age. They get to go to school like the big kids. For an alarmingly large number of these children, however, boredom, anxiety, and fear of learning quickly set in. This happens because societies build schools that achieve much less than they promise, are frustrating for students, and generally fail to help children become adults who can think for themselves. The development of flexible, inquiring minds has rarely been the primary consideration in the design of educational systems.
