Using Computer Technology to Provide a Creative Learning Environment for Preschool Children
(1976-05-01)
TORTIS is a system of special terminals together with software which is designed to provide programming capability and be accesible for use by very young children. The system is designed to add capabilities in small ...
Spatial Knowledge
(1976-06-01)
This paper introduces a model of spatial cognition to describe the states of partial knowledge that people have about the spatial structure of a large-scale environment. Spatial knowledge has several different ...
A System for Understanding Mathematical FORTRAN Programs
(1976-08-01)
This paper proposes a system which, when implemented, will be able to understand mathematical FORTRAN programs such as those in the IBM Scientific Subroutine Package. The system takes, as input, a program and annotation ...
From Understanding Computation to Understanding Neural Circuitry
(1976-05-01)
The CNS needs to be understood at four nearly independent levels of description: (1) that at which the nature of computation is expressed; (2) that at which the algorithms that implement a computation are characterized; ...
A Laboratory Environment for Applications Oriented Vision and Manipulation
(1976-05-01)
This report is a brief summary guide to work done in the M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory directed at the production of tools for productivity technology research. For detailed coverage of the work, readers ...
Cooperative Computation of Stereo Disparity
(1976-06-01)
The extraction of stereo disparity information from two images depends upon establishing a correspondence between them. This article analyzes the nature of the correspondence computation, and derives a cooperative algorithm ...
Artificial Intelligence -- A Personal View
(1976-03-01)
The goal of A.I. is to identify and solve useful information processing problems. In so doing, two types of theory arise. Here, they are labelled Types 1 and 2, and their characteristics are outlined. This discussion creates ...
Physiology and Psychology of Color Vision -- A Review
(1976-08-01)
This paper is a review of the anatomy, physiology, and psychology of human color vision.
Proposal to NSF: An Evaluative Study of Modern Technology in Education
(1976-06-01)
This proposal to the NSF describes a new phase of research planned in LOGO. Previous phases have concentrated on developing a conceptual superstructure (theories and teaching methods) and a material infra-structure ...
Synthesizing Constraint Expressions
(1976-07-01)
An algorithm is presented for determining the values which simultaneously satisfy a set of relations, or constraints, involving different subsets of n variables. The relations are represented in a series of constraint ...
