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

A Crowdsourcing Approach to Collecting Tutorial Videos -- Toward Personalized Learning-at-Scale
Jacob Whitehill,Margo Seltzer +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigated the feasibility of crowdsourcing full- fledged tutorial videos from ordinary people on the Web on how to solve math problems related to logarithms to suggest that approximately 100 videos can be crowdsourced per week for $5/video.

Scaling Up Intervention Studies to Investigate Real-Life Foreign Language Learning in School
TL;DR: This paper developed a web-based workbook to replace a printed workbook widely used in German schools, which provides immediate scaffolded feedback to students on form and meaning for various exercise types, covering the full range of constructions in the seventh-grade English curriculum.
Journal ArticleDOI
A knowledge-based approach to computer-aided learning
TL;DR: This paper describes a methodology for the creation of knowledge-based computer-aided learning lessons that has lower developmental and operational overheads than alternatives and is also able to perform far more flexible evaluations of the student's performance.

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.
