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

Principles of rule-based expert systems
TL;DR: The problem of reasoning with incomplete or inexact information is discussed, as are several other issues regarding the design of expert systems.

Toward a theory of impasse-driven learning
TL;DR: The long-term objective of the research reported here is to develop a theory of the neglected half of learning, knowledge communication, by using more complicated stimuli, the calculational procedures of ordinary arithmetic.

Extending the scaffolding metaphor
TL;DR: Empirical studies are reviewed with regard to how the contributors to this issue have extended the scaffolding metaphor to open-ended technology based environments.

KNOME: Modeling What the User Knows in UC
TL;DR: KNOME is the user modeling component of UC, a natural language consultation system for the UNIX operating system, which models its own knowledge of UNIX with meta-knowledge (explicit facts about the limitations of the system’s own knowledge base), which is used to help in correcting user misconceptions.

Serious Games for Language Learning: How Much Game, How Much AI?
TL;DR: This paper explores questions in the context of the Tactical Language Training System (TLTS), a program that supports rapid acquisition of foreign language and cultural skills, and Artificial intelligence plays a key role in controlling the behaviour of the non-player characters in the game.

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.
