2. The TacAir-Soar Experience -- abandon learning -- much more than 10 man years of development -- abandon concern with behavioral detail.
“From earlier experience in cognitive modeling, we know that attempting to model human behavior to the greatest degree possible would greatlyslow development and increase the required computational resources.”
(Jones, Laird, Nielsen, Coutler, Kenny, & Koss, (1999). p. 33.)
3. The Cognitive Tutor Experience -- abandon learning -- much more than 10 man years of development -- abandon concern with behavioral detail.
4. Christian Lebiere's Position -- it is precisely the abandoning of learning and
the cognitive level creates these systems which will never have the richness of knowledge
-- sweat the details now and reap the rewards later.
