Abstract

An adaptive system AHMED is designed to serve as an environment for learning in special education. The system has also support for teachers or other experts involved in the education for observing and evaluating the learning processes of individual learners. The paper describes the system and presents the test material for evaluating basic prerequisite skills for learning arithmetics, namely number word sequence skills. The results are reflected against the standard neuropsychological tests.
