Abstract
Abstract METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN ATTENDANCE WITH TEACHING MACHINES, ORAL LECTURES OR SUCH FOR CONSTRUCTING A VERBAL RESPONSE FOR COMPARISON WITH A KNOWN OR CORRECT RESPONSE. THE METHOD UTILIZES UNIQUE DISCRIMINATION FUNCTIONS WHEREIN ALL CORRECT ANSWERS ARE ACCEPTED AS CORRECT AND A HIGH ORDER OF INCORRECT ANSWERS ARE REJECTED AS INCORRECT, THE INFREQUENT ACCEPTANCE OF AN INCORRECT ANSWER AS CORRECT BEING PRACTICALLY IMMATERIAL IN A HIGHLY PROMPTED QUESTION-ANSWER SYSTEM. THE APPARATUS UTILIZES VARIOUS BINARY SELECTION DEVICES OF GREATLY REDUCED COMPLEXITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A VERBAL RESPONSE, EITHER TYPEWRITTEN, ORAL OR HAND-PRINTED, THE CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE THEN BEING COMPARED WITH SELECTED BINARY CHARACTERISTICS OF A PREDETERMINED VERBAL RESPONSE WHICH REPRESENTS A CORRECT ANSWER.
