The ATB Framework: quantifying and classifying epistemic strategies in tangible problem-solving tasks. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., Bakker, S., Antle, A., May, A., Warren, J., & Oakley, I. (2015, January). The ATB Framework: quantifying and classifying epistemic strategies in tangible problem-solving tasks. Presented at 9th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction

In task performance, pragmatic actions refer to behaviors that make direct progress, while epistemic actions involve altering the world so that cognitive processes are faster, more reliable or less taxing. Epistemic actions are frequently presented a... Read More about The ATB Framework: quantifying and classifying epistemic strategies in tangible problem-solving tasks..
