Development of a Web-based Production System for Introductory Cognitive Science Classes

Abstract

In learning cognitive science, students must learn how to handle an actual production system that runs on a computer. We developed a web-based production system for education that can be used from anywhere such as class rooms, offices, and homes. The system as a web-based application has many advantages as a learning support system. It furnishes students with learning support information for if-clause matching to facilitate learning. We confirmed that our system works sufficiently in a standard computer facility and students learned important features of human cognitive processing by meta-monitoring their own thinking processes.
