Knowledge Spaces

<p>Based on the formal concept of knowledge structures originally proposed by Jean-Claude Falmagne and Jean-Paul Doignon this book contains descriptions of methodological developments and experimental investigations as well as applications for various knowledge domains. The authors address three main topics: <br> * theoretical issues and extensions of Doignon & Falmagne's theory of knowledge structures; <br> * empirical validations of specific problem types and knowledge domains such as sentence comprehension problem solving in chess inductive reasoning elementary mathematical reasoning and others; and <br> * application of knowledge structures in various contexts including knowledge assessment intelligent tutoring systems and motor learning. <br><br> Unlike most other approaches in the literature in cognitive psychology this book provides both a rigorous mathematical formulation of knowledge-related psychological concepts and its empirical validation by experimental data.</p>
