ABSTRACT
According to a purist’s view of symbolic cognition, the KIWi model would be interpreted as a complete explication of how humans acquire knowledge. In order to improve and optimize human learning, we could therefore feed a variety of different learning materials and different sequences of learning materials into the model. For each instructional set may then inspect the representational content of the knowledge that the model acquired from the different instructional sets. One of the first and best known expert systems is MYCIN. MYCIN was used for the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infections and is a typical example of a first generation expert system. It basically consists of an inference mechanism and a rule base. The performance component of the Case-Oriented Expert or COEx-system, system functions in the following way. A new problem description, consisting of the description of the initial and the desired states, is entered into the system.
