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

The nature and methods of learning by doing
TL;DR: Some of the psychological research on learning by doing and the role that learning-by-doing approaches can play in education and training are reviewed and the author's implementations of this approach are discussed.

Detecting carelessness through contextual estimation of slip probabilities among students using an intelligent tutor for mathematics
TL;DR: Bayesian Knowledge Tracing and its variant, the Contextual-Slip-and-Guess Estimation, are used to model and predict carelessness behavior in the Scatterplot Tutor and examine the robustness of this detector to a major difference in the tutor's interface.

Automatically Learning Topics and Difficulty Levels of Problems in Online Judge Systems
TL;DR: A novel two-mode Markov topic model is proposed to automatically detect the topics of online problems by jointly characterizing the two learning modes and a competition-based expertise model using the learned topic information is proposed.

Measuring teachability using variants of the teaching dimension
TL;DR: This work devise two variants of the classical teaching model for Boolean concept classes, based on the teaching dimension, and describe them by teaching-dimension-like combinatorial parameters, showing that monomials can be taught with a linear number of examples, whereas some 1-decision lists need exponentially many.
Journal ArticleDOI
User modelling and user adapted interaction in an intelligent tutoring system
TL;DR: The key contributions of this paper are in its attempt to rehabilitate student modelling/adaptive tutoring within ITSs and in FITS's practical use of simple techniques to realise them with seemingly encouraging results.

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.

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.
