....apply are explicitly situated (Huffman Laird, 1992) The agent is not meant to carry out these instructions immediately (as an implicitly situated instruction) but rather when a situation arises that is like the one specified. Examples include conditionals and instructions with purpose clauses (DiEugenio, 1993), such as the following: 4 ffl When using chocolate chips, add them to coconut mixture just before pressing into pie pan. ffl To restart this, you can hit R or shift R. ffl When you get to the interval that you want, you just center up the joystick again. 4. These examples are taken from a ....
....the current situation that are needed to carry out the instruction. 13 This hypothetical situation is used as the context for a situated explanation of the instruction. 7. 1 Hypothetical Goals and Learning Effects of Operators A goal is explicitly specified in an instruction by a purpose clause (DiEugenio, 1993): To do X, do Y. The basic knowledge to be learned from such an instruction is an operator proposal rule for doing Y when the goal is to achieve X. Consider this example from Instructo Soar s domain: To turn on the light, push the red button. The agent has been taught how to push buttons, ....

....11 A simple example is: Never touch a hot stove. Here, the language indicates that the instruction applies whenever there is a hot stove present, no matter what other tasks are being performed. Other explicitly situated instructions include conditionals and instructions with purpose clauses [DiEugenio, 1992], such as: For normal tape, employ the SF NORM position. When using chocolate chips, add them to coconut mixture just before pressing into pie pan. To restart this, you can hit R or shift R. As a number of researchers have pointed out [Ford and Thompson, 1986; Johnson Laird, 1986; Haiman, ....
....and operator rejection knowledge. 4.2 Learning from hypothetical goals In addition to hypothetical states, instructions may explicitly specify the goal of the situation that they are intended to apply to. Within a single instruction, an explicitly specified goal takes the form of a purpose clause [DiEugenio, 1992], that indicates the purpose (goal) that an action is meant to achieve. Such instructions have the form To do X, do Y (e.g. To turn on the light, push the button ) The basic knowledge to be learned from such an instruction is operator proposal knowledge for doing Y when the goal is to achieve ....

....to the agent s current reasoning processes. The mapping task can be difficult, involving all of the problems of linguistic interpretation. In general, it may involve reasoning about the task itself. For example, the agent may use task knowledge to find an operator with specified effects [DiEugenio, 1992], or pragmatic knowledge to resolve referents. This is the mapping problem. 2. The agent must interact with the instructor in a flexible way to obtain instructions. This interaction may be driven by the agent, by the instructor, or both. The agent must be flexible in handling instructions that ....
