Abstract
Abstract Computer‐based tutoring of visual concepts is a largely unexplored area. The ability to classify images, to identify features and to describe abnormalities is a necessary part of training in many professions, such as radiology, anatomy, botany and geology. To a lesser level it is important for developing everyday skills such as identifying birds, trees, rocks, and flowers. The aim of this paper is to show how computers might be used in visual concept teaching, to store and display large stocks of exemplar images, to carry out a tutorial dialogue with the learner, and to provide learning aids such as concept maps, feature spaces, and structural models. The paper describes well‐established methods for teaching visual concepts and indicates how computers can supplement the human teacher in tutoring students with differing levels of expertise.
