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

Animal companions: Fostering children's effort-making by nurturing virtual pets.
TL;DR: The concept of animal companions, ‘non-smart’ virtual characters, is proposed as a way to encourage students to promote effort-making learning behaviours in a practical application, the My-Pet v2 system.

Development and Adoption of an Adaptive Learning System: Reflections and Lessons Learned
TL;DR: A brief overview of reflections and lessons learned from developing and piloting an ALS in a course on relational databases is provided to provide insight for other instructors, educational researchers and developers that are interested in adopting ALSs or are involved in the implementation of educational tools and technologies.

Intelligent language tutoring systems for grammar practice
TL;DR: For instance, this article provided a companion Web site with vocabulary and grammar exercises for each of the 12 chapters of the introductory German course package, but none of these exercises on the Web site contained any graphics, sound or videos which would enhance the static material character of workbooks.

From Data to Insights: A Layered Storytelling Approach for Multimodal Learning Analytics
TL;DR: An approach to unravel the complexity of multimodal data by organising it into meaningful layers that explain critical insights to teachers and students is introduced.
Exploring the Need for Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS).
Vanessa Putnam,Cristina Conati +1 more
TL;DR: An initial pilot study is conducted to explore student attitudes towards incorporating explanations to an ITS, by asking participants for suggestions on the type of explanations, if any, that they would like to see.

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.
