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

Effectiveness of Intelligent Tutoring Systems A Meta-Analytic Review
James A. Kulik,J. D. Fletcher +1 more
TL;DR: The amount of improvement found in an evaluation depended to a great extent on whether improvement was measured on locally developed or standardized tests, suggesting that alignment of test and instructional objectives is a critical determinant of evaluation results.

Object-based and environment-based inhibition of return of visual attention.
TL;DR: In this paper, the internal representations upon which IOR functions were examined and the following conclusions were drawn: First, IOR mechanisms have access to both object- and environment-based representations.

Modeling individualization in a bayesian networks implementation of knowledge tracing
TL;DR: An elegant way of formulating the individualization problem entirely within a Bayesian networks framework that fits individualized as well as skill specific parameters simultaneously, in a single step is introduced.

Effective Tutoring Techniques: A Comparison of Human Tutors and Intelligent Tutoring Systems
TL;DR: The types of guidance and support provided by human tutors with those in intelligent tutoring systems are compared, by examining the process of recovering from impasses encountered during problem solving.

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.
