82 computer-aided manufacturing
Opsa system in which the manufacture and assembly of a product are directed by a computer. Computer-aided manufacturing can be integrated with computer-aided design to create a CAD/CAM system.Abbr. CAM.The ultimate business dictionary > computer-aided manufacturing

83 computer telephony integration
Gen Mgtthe combining of computer and telephone technology to allow a computer to dial telephone numbers, route calls, and send and receive messages. One product of computer telephony integration is the process of calling line identification, or CLI. CLI identifies the telephone number a customer is calling from, searches the customer database to identify the caller, and pops up the customer account on the receiver’s computer screen, using the facility known as screen popping, before the call is answered.Abbr.

84 Computer Psychometrics
The computer is changing most aspects of [psychological] testing, bringing benefits and costs. Automation of test administration and interpretation is gaining ground, although it tends to reduce interaction between assessor and examinee-with consequent impoverishment of information on both sides. Supplying computer-generated "self-interpreting" reports to clients seems likely to invite misunderstanding, and to encourage overreliance on the test as authority. Persons not qualified as test interpreters are writing software for start-up companies in the field; the risks are obvious. On the positive side, if the computer is kept in an adjunct role it reduces testing costs, and its reports stimulate thought in the professional interpreter. Adaptive testing is paying off, and we are beginning to see new tasks, resembling video arcade displays, which have obvious potential.

85 computer-aided design
Opsthe use of a computer to assist with the design of a product. Computer graphics, modeling, and simulation are used to represent a product on screen, so that designers can produce more accurate drawings than is possible on paper alone and to perform calculations easily, thereby optimizing designs for production. -
86 computer-aided engineering
Opsthe application of computers to the generation of the engineering specifications of a product. Computer-aided engineering fits into the production process between computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. It is similar to CAD/CAM software, but with a focus on the engineering processes required for converting a design to a manufacturable product. The software package can include aspects of design, analysis, process planning, numerical control, mold and tool design, and quality control.Abbr.

87 Computer Metaphors
Within the AI community there is a growing dissatisfaction concerning the adequacy of sequential models to simulate the cognitive processes....For an example of the dissimilarity between computers and nervous systems, consider that in conventional computers... each piece of data [is] located in its own special space in the memory bank [and] can be retrieved only by a central processor that knows the address in the memory bank for each datum. Human memory appears to be organized along entirely different lines. For one thing, from a partial or a degraded stimulus human memory can "reconstruct" the rest, and there are associative relationships among stored pieces of information based on considerations of context rather than on considerations of location.... t now appears doubtful that individual neurons are so specific that they are tuned to respond to a single item and nothing else. Thus, connectionist models tend to devise and use distributed principles, which means that elements may be selective to a range of stimuli and there are no "grandmother cells."...Information storage, it appears, is in some ill-defined sense a function of connectivity among sets of neurons. This implies that there is something fundamentally wrong in understanding the brain's memory on the model of individual symbols stored at unique addresses in a data bank....A further source of misgivings about the computer metaphor concerns real-time constraints. Although the signal velocities in nervous systems are quite slow in comparison to those in computers, brains are nonetheless far, far faster than electronic devices in the execution of their complex tasks. For example, human brains are incomparably faster than any computer in word-nonword recognition tasks. (P. S. Churchland, 1986, pp. 458-459)Historical dictionary of quotations in cognitive science > Computer Metaphors

93 computer-based training
HRtraining carried out via a stand-alone or networked computer. Programs are usually interactive, so that students can select from multiple-choice options or key in their own answers. A popular medium for computer-based training is CD-ROM, although there is a growing trend toward online training, where computerbased training is delivered over the Internet or through company intranets. Computerbased training is a form of e-learning. -

95 Computer Psychotherapy
It is dehumanizing to herd thousands of patients into mental hospitals where they will never see a doctor.... If a computer can provide therapeutic conversation, then there can be no hesitation in exploring these potentials. It may give us a chance to rehumanize people now being dehumanized by our... psychiatric systems.
