Abstract

In summary, CINNA is aimed to be a System able to construct individualized texts designed to create in subjects, a heterogeneous quality in their initial state ofknowledge, an eventual homogeneous state ofknowledge, determined by the experimenter. It is based on computation of raw new Information required for the subject, according to the differences between his initial and eventual states; in its cunent version, CINNA takes into account several psychological processes, which are assumed to work in comprehension and in memory; no doubt an account ofmore processes will turn out to be necessary in the future, but the general strategy of the design is to introduce this äs speciflcations of the previous knowledge -new Information -psychological processes paradigm. Experiments are currently being carried out in view of preparing the Implementation of such a System.
