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

Adaptive Educational Hypermedia based on Multiple Student Characteristics
Herman Dwi Surjono,John R Maltby +1 more
TL;DR: The development of an AEH system which includes a student model that can simultaneously take into account multiple student characteristics is discussed, which will be developed to use stereotypes, overlays and perturbation techniques.

Resources for Refining Mathematical Conceptions: Case Studies in Learning About Linear Functions
TL;DR: The refinement of a conception in the domain of linear functions, the use of the x-intercept in equations of the form y = mx + b, is described to illustrate the resources used by students to refine a conception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward intelligent assessment: an integration of constructed response testing, artificial intelligence, and model‐based measurement
TL;DR: The conception incorporates complex constructed-response items for their potential to increase the validity, instructional utility, and credibility of standardized tests and cognitively-grounded measurement models provide diagnostic statements based on commonalities in performance across items.

Intelligent tutoring systems based upon qualitative model evolutions
TL;DR: Since the acquisition of a qualitative understanding of the laws of physics and their implications is an important component of understanding physical phenomena, it is argued that systems based upon qualitative model progressions can play a valuable role in science education.

20000 inspections of a domain-independent open learner model with individual and comparison views
Susan Bull,Andrew Mabbott +1 more
TL;DR: A domain-independent open learners model with multiple simple views on individual learner model data is introduced to help learners identify their knowledge, difficulties and misconceptions; prompt reflection on their knowledge and learning; and facilitate planning.

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.
