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

Dialogue-Learning Correlations in Spoken Dialogue Tutoring
TL;DR: It is shown that the introduction of a new concept into the dialogue by students positively correlates with learning, but student attempts at deeper reasoning do not, and the human tutor's attempts to direct the dialogue negatively correlate with learning.

Adaptive Support versus Alternating Worked Examples and Tutored Problems: Which Leads to Better Learning?
TL;DR: A study that compares a fixed sequence of alternating worked examples and tutored problem solving with a strategy that adaptively decides how much assistance the student needs.

Cluster Analysis in Personalized E-Learning Systems
TL;DR: In the chapter, it is proposed the system architecture, in which teaching paths as well as proper layouts are adjusted to groups of students with similar preferences, created by application of clustering techniques.

A framework of synthesizing tutoring conversation capability with web-based distance education courseware
TL;DR: A human tutor-like tutorial conversation system that enhances educational courseware through mixed-initiative dialog with natural language processing and guarantees the reusability of existing Web tutorials with minimal effort in the modification of the curriculum script and LSA module.

The Group Formation Problem: An Algorithmic Approach to Learning Group Formation
TL;DR: The proposed GroupAL algorithm supports the use of criteria that are either expected to be matched homogeneous or heterogeneous among participants while aiming for equally good group formation for all groups.

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.
