Conversation theory is a cybernetic approach to the study of conversation, cognition and learning that may occur between two participants who are engaged in conversation with each other.^[1]^[2]^[3] It presents an experimental framework heavily utilizing human-computer interactions and computer theoretic models as a means to present a scientific theory explaining how conversational interactions lead to the emergence of knowledge between participants.^[4]^[5] The theory was developed by Gordon Pask, who credits Bernard Scott,^[6] Dionysius Kallikourdis, Robin McKinnon-Wood,^[7] and others during its initial development and implementation as well as Paul Pangaro during subsequent years.^[8]^[9]^{[Footnote 1]}
