Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG09B 005/00AbstractA method and apparatus is provided for automated learning and performance evaluation of a group of items by a user. The apparatus, which can be a digital computer, has an imput for receiving a user's response, a display for presenting the material to be learned and logic for sorting the items and responses. The method, which can be practiced on a digital computer, has steps of querying the user as to whether items are believed to be known or unknown, sorting the items into groups of perceived known and unknown items and generating a sequence of items to be displayed. An important feature of this invention is that the user's biological needs for learning are matched automatically with an apparatus employing a method that leaves the user with no opportunity to fail. Unusual learning results are obtained from an unobvious method.Field of SearchQUESTION OR PROBLEM ELICITING RESPONSECathode ray screen display included in examining means Correctness of response indicated to examine by self-operating or examinee actuated means By means including electrical component Response of plural examinees communicated to monitor or recorder by electrical signals Response of plural examinees communicated to monitor or recorder by electrical signals Wireless signals With means for indicating first examinee to respond Grading of response form Electrical means for recording examinee's response MEANS FOR DEMONSTRATING APPARATUS, PRODUCT, OR SURFACE CONFIGURATION, OR FOR DISPLAYING EDUCATION MATERIAL OR STUDENT'S WORK | |
