ResumoA cognitive system for computer-assisted instruction, called CINACC (for Computation of Information Necessary for Acquisition or Correction of Knowledge), is presented. It is designed to create in students memory a predetermined “final state of knowledge”, which is described as a set of elementary mental propositions. Knowledge is transmitted through text items which are stored in the computer's memory and can be presented to the students on a video screen. Questions are put to the students during the study, and their responses are evaluated by the system. The outputs of this evaluation are used to determine the presentation of subsequent text items, or questions, according to predetermined rules. So during a particular session of instruction, each student is presented with his or her own individualized text and set of questions, constructed by the system. Questions belong to several types: some are conceptual questions, such as, “What is an X?”, in which X designates a concept. An automaton, using procedures from Artificial Intelligence and special cognitive schemata, enables the analysis and evaluation by the system of written responses to such conceptual questions. The system in general, and the analyzer-evaluator in particular, help psychologists to make explicit the links between language and declarative knowledge during acquisition of knowledge.
