Learning We are interested in the issues of learning in the context of problem solving. Analogy and reflection are the two main strands of our work on learning. Both play central roles in reasoning and learning. SBF models of new devices are acquired in part by adapting the models of similar devices and partly through analogical transfer in the form of BF models. It provides a language for representing the structure and functions of a problem solver, and also its internal behaviors that specify how the functions of the problem solver are composed out of the functions of its structural elements.
Current work focuses on identifying additional redesign and learning strategies.
