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

Methodologies for studying human knowledge
TL;DR: The best way to study the algorithmic level is to look for differential learning outcomes in pedagogical experiments that manipulate instructional experience, which provides control and prediction in realistically complex learning situations.

Review: The contribution of learner characteristics in the development of computer-based adaptive learning environments
TL;DR: The results show that a lot of high-quality studies are situated in a rather shattered research field, building few bridges from theory to practice, and call for a theory or framework integrating current and past research results that is able to guide theory-based and systematic empirical research having concrete hypotheses on the merits of learner characteristics in adaptive learning environments.

Learning by feeling: evoking empathy with synthetic characters
TL;DR: The issue of empathy as one desirable aspect of the affective interaction between learners and synthetic characters is focused on and some results achieved are reported in the evaluation executed with 127 children and 95 adults on the FearNot!.

Brain–Computer Interface Technologies in the Coming Decades
TL;DR: A holistic approach to BCIs will enable a broad range of task-oriented and opportunistic applications by leveraging pervasive technologies and advanced analytical approaches to sense and merge critical brain, behavioral, task, and environmental information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical dynamics of three-dimensional figure-ground perception of two-dimensional pictures.
TL;DR: The FACADE model as mentioned in this paper describes how geometrical and contrastive properties of a picture can either cooperate or compete when forming the boundaries and surface representation that subserve conscious percepts.

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.
Book
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.
