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

Using an intelligent tutor and math fluency training to improve math performance
TL;DR: This research evaluated software interventions to improve strategies and fluency and tested their relative magnitude on math post-tutor pertbrmance, finding that both interventions appear to complement one another, impacting math achievement.

A Collaborative Case Study System for Distance Learning
TL;DR: An empirical qualitative study is presented that simulates a learning scenario in which a pair of subjects at a distance are provided with a collaborative learning environment and required to collaborate in order to solve a case study.

Modeling student knowledge with self-organizing feature maps
TL;DR: A novel application of neural networks to model the behavior of students in the context of an intelligent tutoring system that implements a universal student knowledge model that is compatible with knowledge space theory approaches to student assessment and computer aided instruction.

Comparing and Combining Eye Gaze and Interface Actions for Determining User Learning with an Interactive Simulation
Samad Kardan,Cristina Conati +1 more
TL;DR: Findings show that including gaze data as an additional source of information to the CSP applet’s user model significantly improves model accuracy compared to using interface actions or gaze data alone.
Book ChapterDOI
Using tutors to improve educational games
TL;DR: Tutor students were better able to analyze policy problems and reported higher level of competence which in turn affected interest, suggesting that the efficacy and interest in educational games can be improved by applying tutor-based approaches to assistance.

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.
