Abstract
During the past ten years there has been extensive work on the development of artificial intelligence methods for instruction. Interest in the instructional research community has shifted from traditional forms of computer-aided instruction (CAI) to new forms that employ “intelligent” methods, and are thus referred to as intelligent CAI (ICAI) systems or intelligent tutoring systems (ITS). Relative to the older CAI, the sheer technological power of ICAI methods is apparent and compelling. Systems such as SOPHIE, STEAMER and TRIO have demonstrated a variety of new and powerful computational capabilities in support of complex training tasks in areas such as electronic troubleshooting, naval steam propulsion plant operation, air intercepts and other important military application domains.
