BehSys Anal: An artificially intelligent hypermedia resource library for descriptive behavioral research

Abstract

The advancement of computer technologies, particularly the development of hypertext and interactive video, has presented to the academic community a new and effective tool for teaching and learning. An application of these technologies led to the concept of a hypermedia resource library-a set of integrated interactive computer modules that allow the user to browse and study topically specific content in a unique way. Such modules electronically present textual, graphic, and real-time video materials that instruct and quiz the user, offer a means for computer-based laboratory experimentation and data analysis, and provide statistical evaluation of the user's progress. This paper will focus on the technology of computer-based hypermedia and the specific concept within this context of the artificially intelligent hypermedia resource library. © 1992 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
