An operational test specifies an observable performance; its relation to a broader concept must still be argued.
Try the short introduction first, or bring equivalent reading experience. Obtain the specified text before beginning the longer reading.
Write a machine-evaluation protocol and give one way to pass it that would leave a further question about intelligence unresolved.
Start here if the background is new. Equivalent experience is enough.
Introduces the question and vocabulary used in the longer selected reading.

Find a copyComputing Machinery and Intelligence. Work on computability, machine intelligence and morphogenesis. Begin by distinguishing a mathematical model, an operational test and a biological mechanism.
Answer this question in your own words: What does a proposed test of machine intelligence actually test?
Name the claim, then explain why a reader might accept it.
An operational test specifies an observable performance; its relation to a broader concept must still be argued.
What to look for
Common mistake: Summarising a biography instead of explaining the argument.

What would make your activity a convincing example?
Write a machine-evaluation protocol and give one way to pass it that would leave a further question about intelligence unresolved.
A useful response carries out the task: Write a machine-evaluation protocol and give one way to pass it that would leave a further question about intelligence unresolved. It records the observation or passage used and explains how it bears on the question.
What to look for
Common mistake: Presenting an opinion without showing the example it rests on.

What is one conclusion this reading does not establish?
Test the boundary: The imitation game, computability and reaction–diffusion are distinct contributions, not one theorem about all intelligence.
