Computer Procedures and Programs for the Automation of Conative Processes

摘要

PUPIL II, a general adaptive motor learning program for an IBM 360/4OF computer, is described and listed. The program is written in BPS Fortran IV and is a successor to an earlier operative program, PUPIL I. New and planned additions to the program are discussed and described, mainly those which permit a sub-goal or goal setting mode of operation, linguistic level behavioral control, and verbal skills. Various psychological and experimental topics bearing on the program are discussed and analyzed. (Author)
