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

Structuring and Adjusting Content for Students: A Study of Live and Simulated Tutoring of Addition
TL;DR: This study examined how six experienced teachers acquired information about students’ knowledge and used that information to adjust their instruction while tutoring, moving through a curriculum script—a loosely ordered but well defined set of skills and concepts students were expected to learn.

Designing Computer Games to Help Physics Students Understand Newton's Laws of Motion
TL;DR: In this article, the design of a computer environment for helping science students to learn about Newtonian dynamics is explored, where students have to control the motion of a spaceship in order to achieve goals such as hitting a target or navigating a maze.

Designing Social Infrastructure: Critical Issues in Creating Learning Environments With Technology
TL;DR: The Social Infrastructure Framework systematically frames the critical design elements in terms of 4 dimensions: cultural beliefs, practices, socio-techno-spatial relations, and interaction with the "outside world" and the design issues associated with each dimension are detailed.

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.
