Intelligent tutoring systems
TLDR
Computer tutors based on a set of pedagogical principles derived from the ACT theory of cognition have been developed for teaching students to do proofs in geometry and to write computer programs in the language LISP.Abstract:
Cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer technology have advanced to the point where it is feasible to build computer systems that are as effective as intelligent human tutors Computer tutors based on a set of pedagogical principles derived from the ACT theory of cognition have been developed for teaching students to do proofs in geometry and to write computer programs in the language LISPread more

Worked-out examples: instructional explanations support learning by self- explanations
TL;DR: In this article, a coherent set of principles for integrating instructional explanations into learning via self-explanations was developed, implemented, and tested, and the results showed that the instructional explanations had a positive effect on learning, at least under certain conditions.

Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Content Knowledge of Secondary Mathematics Teachers.
Stefan Krauss,Martin Brunner,Mareike Kunter,Jürgen Baumert,Werner Blum,Michael Neubrand,Alexander Jordan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptualization of the pedagogical content knowledge and content knowledge of secondary-level mathematics teachers and investigate whether the mean level of knowledge and the degree of connectedness between the two knowledge categories depend on mathematical expertise.

Signal detection theory and psychophysics
David M. Green,John A. Swets +1 more
TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
A spreading-activation theory of semantic processing
TL;DR: The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.
Book
The Architecture of Cognition
TL;DR: Adaptive Control of Thought (ACT*) as mentioned in this paper is a theory of the basic principles of operation built into the cognitive system and is the main focus of Anderson's theory of cognitive architecture.
