Because of the great importance of the teaching machine in machine psychology, the remaining lessons of IMP will be put on hold until a teaching machine experiment in C Programming is conducted. Under the auspices of the Benjamin Franklin Institute, Dr. Arun Mehta who holds a Ph.D. in automation will be teaching Introductory C Programming and an attempt (expected to be successful) will be made to turn the C course into an AUTONOMOUS TEACHING MACHINE with a reinforcement regimen approaching that of 100% positive reinforcement and one-trial learning. The intention is to provide enough instruction that any student completing it will be able to issue a "challenge" and take the exams to successfully pass a course like COMP 2425 (Intro C) at BCIT. Refer to:
The final lessons, 31 to 36 will now switch from the teaching machine emphasis to date to a "learning machine" emphasis. The stated purpose of COMP 2425 at BCIT is to teach students to "read and write simple to intermediate C programs". Let us then go through the COMP 2425 lessons and ask the questions which a layman-student would ask the teaching machine: <http://geocities.com/machine_psychology/Lessons_31_to_35>
