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

An analysis of students' spontaneous computer-mediated help seeking: A step toward the design of ecologically valid supporting tools
TL;DR: The results showed that not all middle school students use the same help-seeking ''format''.
Hedged Responses and Expressions of Affect in Human/Human and Human/Computer Tutorial Interactions
TL;DR: Bhatt et al. as discussed by the authors studied how students hedge and express affect when interacting with both humans and computer systems, during keyboard-mediated natural language tutoring sessions in medicine, and found significant differences in such student behavior linked to whether the tutor was human or a computer.

Circsim-tutor: an intelligent tutoring system for circulatory physiology
TL;DR: An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) which teaches students the causal relationships between the components of the circulatory physiology system and the complex behavior of the negative feedback system that stabilizes blood pressure is developed.

How Can Automatic Feedback Help Students Construct Automata
TL;DR: This work focuses on providing feedback for constructing a deterministic finite automaton that accepts strings that match a described pattern and finds that providing either counterexamples or hints is judged as helpful, increases student perseverance, and can improve problem completion time.
Journal ArticleDOI
A desktop VR prototype for industrial training applications
TL;DR: A desktop VR prototype for industrial training applications is presented by providing the data interface to import both the virtual environment models and specific domain knowledge and a visibility culling approach is developed for fast rendering and user interaction.

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.

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.

Protocol Analysis: Verbal Reports as Data.
TL;DR: This article reviewed major advances in verbal reports over the past decade, including new evidence on how giving verbal reports affects subjects' cognitive processes, and on the validity and completeness of such reports.
