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 electronic teaching theater: Interactive hypermedia and mental models of the classroom
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of an electronic teaching theater is proposed, which takes advantage of hypermedia and collaborative work environments, and the aim is not to totally redesign the classroom and instructional interaction, but rather to facilitate it using well understood metaphors to lay out the dynamics of classroom interaction on the electronic media and to use the results from research in human/computer interaction to design the interface.

Analysis of a simple model of problem solving times
Petr Jarušek,Radek Pelánek +1 more
TL;DR: A simple model which assumes a linear relationship between latent problem solving ability and a logarithm of time to solve a problem is described and it is shown that this model is related to models from two different areas: the item response theory and collaborative filtering.

Incorporating User Models into Expert Systems for Educational Diagnosis
Robin Cohen,M. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that expert systems for educational diagnosis require user models, and that these user models should include several components, including the user's background knowledge of both the student and the domain as well as the user goals.

Community Building around Encyclopaedic Knowledge
TL;DR: A system that implements large portions of the community-related concepts in a heterogeneous environment of several largely independent data sources is proposed and potential application areas are e-Learning, corporate documentation and knowledge management systems.

WADEIn II: a case for adaptive explanatory visualization
TL;DR: The paper introduces the WADEIn II system for the visualization of expression evaluation in the C programming language, shows how expression evaluation visualizations can be made adaptive, and explains the approach to the adaptive generation of explanations.

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.

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.
