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

combatting Shallow Learning in a Tutor for Geometry Problem Solving
TL;DR: A new version of the tutor's third lesson is developing, aimed at getting students to reason more deliberately with definitions and theorems as they work on geometry problems, which is required to state a reason for their answers.
Automated Analysis and Feedback Techniques to Support and Teach Argumentation: A Survey
TL;DR: This chapter reviews and systemize argumentation analysis approaches with a special focus on the educational uses and discusses argument modeling and discussion systems including their analysis approaches, feedback strategies and architectures.

Detecting and Responding to Plan-Oriented Misconceptions
TL;DR: This chapter2 discusses the problem of detecting and responding to plan-oriented misconceptions in advice-seeking dialogs, concentrating on the problems of novice computer users.

Designing interactive learning environments
Yavuz Akpinar,J.R. Hartley +1 more
TL;DR: This paper argues for and describes the design principles of computer assisted learning (CAL) environments in which the software is interactive but is able to adapt to different styles of learning and teaching.

Providing adaptive support to the understanding of instructional material
Cristina Conati,Kurt VanLehn +1 more
TL;DR: An adaptive interface designed to provide tailored support for the understanding of written instructional material is presented, that relies on a user model based on a Bayesian network that assesses users' understanding as users read the instructional material and try to understand it by generating explanations to themselves.

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.
Book
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.
