| Remarks: |
|
| What’s “behind the button?” | The WP Plugin in use is PrintFriendly.com’s “Print Friendly and PDF” plugin, v.5.5.6. |
| Why did you choose it? | By me, it worked best with the mix of documents at NLCSA. Even better, the interface can be made as simple as a single button and located in the expected page locations. It’s free at this basic level — for which we pay the price of having google-type adds displayed while the formatting and printing is underway. Also, I was pleased at the thoughtfulness of the firm permitting new visitors to try out the conversion to PDF files on their website. |
in appreciation
Seymour’s 1988 Talk at Purdue can be seen at Revaluation of the Concrete.
NB. this post calls 11 video clips, and takes time to load completely.
Coming to MIT to study Artificial Intelligence with Minsky had the wonderful side effect of introducing me to Seymour Papert, Marvin’s colleague and co-founder of the AI Lab. My research studies began in Seymour’s Logo Project, the “Childrens’ Learning Laboratory.” As I integrate all my studies, it seems appropriate to share with anyone interested some photos and video clips from that common past. The two children who joined me at the lab, eventually, met a wise man who very much enjoyed the pleasures of everyday life.

| Notes on Current Issues, Questions, Possible Studies: | |
| Primary Research Goal: trace in detail the transition of learning from a side-effect of behavior to processes of reflexive self-construction. Primary Research Agenda: interpret LC3. (For detail, see LC3c Analyses.) -track language skills & knowledge development -track physical-spatial skills & knowledge development -track other skills & knowledge development -seek levels of description at which tracks of development can be related |

| Plans, Goals, Objectives, Aims, Completed Work | Updated February, 2025 |
| Content Management Systems Usage This web site is my ongoing attempt to construct a Case Analysis Support Environment. (See CASE and The Notion of a Datacase for further discussion.) The content will include the information I have collected in my case studies, including the video archives, ascriptions of knowledge states and interpretations of learning experiences, and local theories made about those learning experiences. |
It is my further intention to use the facilities of public comment through web logs to foster collaboration with colleagues interested in critical or constructive use of these materials. The objective is to enhance the credibility of case study as a method. |
| Work On the Near Horizon: February 2025 & After | Approaches and Decisions |
| Make Video Clip Data More Accessible: > Our chosen problem to address, now that AI models are making automatic transcription of better quality than formerly, is to render the data content embodied in these video clips more accessible to observation, reflection, and discussion via transcription and subtitling. This access-enhancement of the video events will, we believe, cast new light on processes of development. As we proceed in creating our relational “Threads” through the Infant Study from our perspective, the case material will remain a stable base of information through which others with different questions may thread their way to different and different sorts of answers. When content based threads are published, they will be open to questions, suggestions, comments and so forth. Until then, contact us through nlcsaNet@icloud.com |
Offsite Resources in Use: Using automatic transcription & editing at HappyScribe.com we then: – specify speakers in sequence – make corrections – add action descriptions – add comment on content – produce action micro-episodes as text – integrate and render text as subtitles – install action episodes & subtitled video in NLCSA.net |
| Earlier Work: in limbo since research interruption | Approaches and Decisions |
| Progress begun years ago produced modest results for great effort; the project was further limited by personal and circumstantial constraints. It was too hard. | Advances in automatic transcription may bring the endeavor within range of possibility. We will see. |
