Gordon Pask

Gordon Pask was a British cybernetician and psychologist known for his work on understanding how humans and machines learn and communicate. He developed ideas about "conversational learning," where two systems—like a person and a computer—interact and adapt through ongoing dialogue. Pask believed that learning happens through feedback and exchange, much like a conversation, which helps both parties improve. His theories contribute to fields like artificial intelligence, education, and human-computer interaction by emphasizing the importance of interaction and adaptive communication in learning processes.
