For certain problem- oriented disciplines, generative CAI techniques may facilitate automated curriculum construction. This is especially likely in formal logic since problem- solvers and theorem-provers already in existence can be readily modified to create problems of arbitrary complexity. GPS and the “Wang algorithm” provide cases- in- point. Although curriculum generators promise to be effective instructional delivery systems, making educationally sound use of them awaits the development of computable measures of problem complexity which have psychological reality, which reflect observed item difficulties. This poses a serious dilemma for lesson designers which will tend to be resolved in favor of computable but empirically invalid measures.
