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

Authoring Content in the PAT Algebra Tutor
TL;DR: This paper considers a different kind of authoring tool, focused on creating content for a specific intelligent tutoring system, and concludes with a development strategy that begins with a closely-focused content authoring system and then broadens to a system that can more fundamentally affect the type of content presented by the intelligent Tutoring system.

Using browser interaction data to determine page reading behavior
TL;DR: This paper provides a detailed description of an algorithm developed to predict which paragraphs of text in a hypertext document have been read, and to which extent, and describes the user study that served as the basis for the algorithm.

A Review of AI-Supported Tutoring Approaches for Learning Programming
TL;DR: This paper proposes an approach to pair learning which supports two students who solve a programming problem face-to-face and concludes that AI techniques deployed to support feedback-based tutoring approaches only support individual learning.

IntrospectiveViews: an interface for scrutinizing semantic user models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce IntrospectiveViews, an interface that enables the user to view and edit her user model, and present the results of a formative evaluation that show the importance users give in general to different aspects of scrutable user models.

Hints: is it better to give or wait to be asked?
Leena Razzaq,Neil T. Heffernan +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that students learned reliably more with hints-on-demand than proactive hints, and this effect was especially evident for students who tend to ask for a high number of hints.

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.
