Description: In Order to Learn by Frank E. Ritter, Josef Nerb, Erno Lehtinen, Timothy O'Shea Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The order that material, for both facts and skills, is presented or explored by a learner can influence what is learned, how fast performance increases, and sometimes, even that the material is learned at all. This volume explores some of the foundational topics in this area of intersection between psychology, machine learning, and others. Publisher Description Order affects the results you get: Different orders of presenting material can lead to qualitatively and quantitatively different learning outcomes. These differences occur in both natural and artificial learning systems. In Order to Learn shows how order effects are crucial in human learning, instructional design, machine learning, and both symbolic and connectionist cognitive models. Each chapter explains a different aspect of how the order in whichmaterial is presented can strongly influence what is learned by humans and theoretical models of learning in a variety of domains. In addition to data, models are provided that predict and describe order effects andanalyze how and when they will occur. The introductory and concluding chapters compile suggestions for improving learning through better sequences of learning materials, including how to take advantage of order effects that encourage learning and how to avoid order effects that discourage learning. Each chapter also highlights questions that may inspire further research. Taken together, these chapters show how order effects in different areas can and do inform each other. In Order toLearn will be of interest to researchers and students in cognitive science, education, machine learning.
