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

Interactivity and expectation: eliciting learning oriented behavior with tutorial dialogue systems
TL;DR: The reasons behind students’ different responses to human versus machine tutors are investigated and possible solutions that will motivate students to offer more elaborated responses to computerized tutoring systems, and ultimately behave in a more “learning oriented” manner are explored.

Triplet Structure Model of Arithmetical Word Problems for Learning by Problem-Posing
TL;DR: "triplet structure" of an arithmetical word problem that is composed of two "single quantity sentences" and one "relative quantity sentence" is described, as the base model of the design of interactive learning environments.
Virtual Reality in Healthcare.
TL;DR: This chapter presents a general overview of the use of virtual real- ity in medical informatics, rehabilitation and assistive & preventive healthcare.

Bayesian student models based on item to item knowledge structures
TL;DR: A comparison of two Bayesian frameworks for modeling item-item relationships, a standard Bayesian network approach and a more constrained framework that relies on a local independence assumption, shows that the constrained approach shows higher predictive power than a Bayesian Network.

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.
