Learning system, learning method, and learning program
View Patent ↗A learning system according to one aspect of the present invention presents a question to a learner, receives an answer to the question from the learner, and after answering is complete, presents the correct answer of the question to the learner. In a case where the learner's answer to the presented question is incorrect, the learning system acquires measurement data of brain waves from when the correct answer to the incorrectly answered question was presented to the learner, and calculates the intensity of feedback-related negativity from the acquired measurement data. In accordance with the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity and the incorrectly answered question, the learning system acquires the next question to be presented.
1 . A learning system comprising:
a sensor; and
at least one processor and a memory, configured to cooperate to perform operations comprising:
acquiring one or more first questions;
presenting the acquired one or more first questions to a learner via at least one of a display and a speaker;
receiving answers to the presented first questions from the learner via a user interface;
presenting correct answers for the first questions to the learner after the answers to the first questions have been received via at least one of the display and the speaker;
acquiring, in a case where an answer by the learner to a first question is incorrect, measurement data generated by measuring, via the sensor, brain waves indicative of brain activity of the learner in a case where the correct answer was presented; and
calculating an intensity of feedback-related negativity from the acquired measurement data;
acquiring one or more second questions in accordance with the calculated intensity of feedback-related negativity and the first question that was incorrectly answered;
presenting the acquired one or more second questions to the learner via at least one of the display and the speaker; and
receiving an answer to each presented second question from the learner via the user interface.
2 . The learning system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise, in a case where the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity exceeds a first threshold, acquiring as the second questions, other questions of the same level as the first question that was incorrectly answered.
3 . The learning system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise, in a case where the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity is below a second threshold, acquiring as the second questions, other questions of a different level to the first question that was incorrectly answered.
4 . The learning system according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise, in a case where presentation of questions to the learner is repeated and the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity is continuously lower than a third threshold, stopping the repeated presentation of questions.
5 . A learning method performed by a computer comprising a processor and memory, the computer being operably connected to a sensor, the method comprising:
acquiring one or more first questions;
presenting the acquired one or more first questions to a learner via at least one of a display and a speaker operably connected to the computer;
receiving answers to the presented first questions from the learner via a user interface provided by the computer;
presenting correct answers for the first questions to the learner after the answers to the first questions have been received via at least one of the display and the speaker;
acquiring, in a case where an answer by the learner to a first question is incorrect, measurement data generated by measuring, via the sensor, brain waves indicative of brain activity of the learner in a case where the correct answer was presented;
calculating an intensity of feedback-related negativity from the acquired measurement data;
acquiring one or more second questions in accordance with the calculated intensity of feedback-related negativity and the first question that was incorrectly answered;
presenting the acquired one or more second questions to the learner via at least one of the display and the speaker; and
receiving an answer to each presented second question from the learner via the user interface.
6 . The learning method according to claim 5 , further comprising in a case where the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity exceeds a first threshold, acquiring as the second questions, other questions of the same level as the first question that was incorrectly answered.
7 . The learning method according to claim 5 , further comprising in a case where the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity is below a second threshold, acquiring as the second questions, other questions of a different level to the first question that was incorrectly answered.
8 . The learning method according to claim 5 , further comprising in a case where presentation of questions to the learner is repeated and the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity is continuously lower than a third threshold, stopping the repeated presentation of questions.
9 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium tangibly storing a learning program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
acquiring one or more first questions;
presenting the acquired one or more first questions to a learner via at least one of a display and a speaker;
receiving answers to the presented first questions from the learner via a user interface;
presenting correct answers for the first questions to the learner after the answers to the first questions have been received via at least one of the display and the speaker;
acquiring, in a case where an answer by the learner to a first question is incorrect, measurement data generated by measuring, via a sensor, brain waves indicative of brain activity of the learner in a case where the correct answer was presented;
calculating an intensity of feedback-related negativity from the acquired measurement data;
acquiring one or more second questions in accordance with the calculated intensity of feedback-related negativity and the first question that was incorrectly answered;
presenting the acquired one or more second questions to the learner via at least one of the display and the speaker; and
receiving an answer to each presented second question from the learner via the user interface.
10 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein in a case where the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity exceeds a first threshold, other questions of the same level as the first question that was incorrectly answered are acquired as the second questions.
11 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein in a case where the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity is below a second threshold, other questions of a different level to the first question that was incorrectly answered are acquired as the second questions.
12 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein in a case where presentation of questions to the learner is repeated and the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity is continuously lower than a third threshold, the repeated presentation of questions is stopped.
