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

Rational Errors and the Mathematical Mind
TL;DR: This article found that errors are often logically consistent and rule-based rather than being random, and that investigating errors presents an opportunistic opportunity to reveal about the mathematical mind of a person.

Theoretical and Practical Considerations for Web-Based Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems
Trude Heift,Devlan Nicholson +1 more
TL;DR: The focus is on the German Tutor, an Intelligent Language Tutoring System (ILTS) that implements generality, interactivity, and modularity as contrasted with more traditional computational constraints and architectures.

User Models for Customized Hypertext
Judy Kay,Bob Kummerfeld +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter describes the motivation for PT in terms of its use in tutoring systems that generate a hypertext layout dynamically, based on a user model, and some fundamental elements of the design and implementation of such a system.

Collaborative lecturing by human and computer tutors
TL;DR: The results indicated that students in the collaborative lecture condition reported more arousal (a key component of engagement) than the controls and that arousal was positively correlated with learning gains.
Journal ArticleDOI
The eventful genesis of educational media
TL;DR: The paper reviews the rise and fall of various “revolutionary” learning media and analyses what went wrong and identifies a number of relevant developments that substantiate a favourable future outlook of media for learning.

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.
