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

Automatically Assessing Oral Reading Fluency in a Computer Tutor that Listens
TL;DR: Results show that speech recognition is a powerful source of data about student performance, particularly for reading, on a human-administered test of oral reading fluency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognition and distance learning
TL;DR: It is argued that students who take an autonomous stance towards instruction tend to learn from most courses, and that course designers who take a scaffolded knowledge integration approach to course design can enable autonomous learning.

Metacognitive practice makes perfect: improving students' self-assessment skills with an intelligent tutoring system
TL;DR: The Self-Assessment Tutor is described, an intelligent tutoring system for improving the accuracy of the judgments students make regarding their own knowledge and support for the viability of improving metacognitive skills using intelligent Tutoring systems is provided.
Book ChapterDOI
Exploring the effectiveness of social capabilities and goal alignment in computer supported collaborative learning
TL;DR: A conversational agent designed to support collaborative learning interactions between pairs of students is described in which the social capability and goal alignment of the agent are manipulated in order to investigate the impact on student learning outcomes and student perceptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive testing for hierarchical student models
TL;DR: An approach to student modeling in which knowledge is represented by means of probability distributions associated to a tree of concepts, which is more informative and diagnosis is more efficient and an algorithm for estimating question characteristic curves which is necessary in order to apply the Item Response Theory to a given domain is presented.

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.
