Constructionism and AI
Constructionism, long before it had a name, was intimately tied to the field of Artificial Intelligence. Soon after the birth of Logo at BBN, Seymour Papert set up the Logo Group as part of the MIT AI Lab. Logo was based upon Lisp, the first prominent AI programming language. Many early Logo activities involved natural language processing, robotics, artificial game players, and generating poetry, art, and music. In the 1970s researchers explored …
From the imaginary to the real
We are grateful to all the respondents for their insightful commentaries. Many clearly welcome the dialogue we were hoping our article would facilitate between modelers and social scientists. The i
The role for simulations in theory construction for the social sciences
Religion is, at the very least, a highly complex social phenomenon. The theories we use to understand religion - and sociocultural systems more generally - are often so complex that even experts in the field may not be able to see all their consequences. Social simulations can help us understand and communicate the consequences of a theory, provided we can describe the theory with sufficient precision and comprehensiveness in order to run it on a…
Preschool cookbook of computer programming topics
A common problem in computer programming use for education in general, not simply as a technical skill, is that children and teachers find themselves constrained by what is possible through limited expertise in computer programming techniques. This is particularly noticeable at the preliterate level, where constructs tend to be limited to extremely simple elements. Having worked for 4 years with over 150 children, aged 3 to 5, we present age-appr…
