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

The computer as a tool for learning through reflection
Allan Collins,John Seely Brown +1 more
TL;DR: Computational techniques have proved to be powerful tools for both experimental and theoretical investigations of the mind in the sciences, where computers and computational languages have improved the authors' ability to develop and test process theories of complex natural phenomena.

Datalog extensions for database queries and updates
Serge Abiteboul,Victor Vianu +1 more
TL;DR: Deterministic and non-deterministic extensions of Datalog with fixpoint semantics are proposed, and their expressive power characterized, to overcome the limited expressive power available with purely declarative semantics.

On the usability and likeability of virtual reality games for education: The case of VR-ENGAGE
Maria Virvou,George Katsionis +1 more
TL;DR: The evaluation results showed that the game was indeed usable and likeable but there was scope for usability and likeability improvement so that the educational benefits may be maximised for all categories of students.

Professional Development Focused on Children's Algebraic Reasoning in Elementary School
TL;DR: A yearlong experimental study showed positive effects of a professional development project that involved 19 urban elementary schools, 180 teachers, and 3735 students from one of the lowest performing school districts in California Algebraic reasoning as generalized arithmetic and the study of relations was used as the centerpiece for work with teachers in Grades 1?5 Participating teachers generated a wider variety of student strategies, including more strategies that reflected the use of relational thinking, than did nonparticipating teachers.

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.
