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 LISP

Diagnosis with behavioral modes

TL;DR: A general diagnostic theory is presented that uses the perspective of diagnosis as ideniifying consisieni modes of behavior, correct or faulty, to identify faulty components without necessarily knowing how they fail.

Reconstructing Technologies as Social Practice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of a research program developed over the past 20 years to explore relations between everyday practices and technology design and use, starting from the premise that technologies can be assessed only in their relations to the sites of their production and use.

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.
