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

Una revisión actualizada del concepto de eLearning : décimo Aniversario = An updated review of the concept of eLearning : tenth anniversary
TL;DR: The irruption of Information and communication technologies as educational tools mean both a conceptual and a methodological turning point in the way that institutions, educational or not, face training processes and learning management, especially with regard to the concept of distance education, which evolves when it adopts Internet as media.

Toward Tutoring Help Seeking
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether a Cognitive Tutor can be made more effective by extending it to help students acquire help-seeking skills, and they present a preliminary model of helpseeking behavior that will provide the basis for a Help-Seeking Tutor Agent.

Tutoring Techniques in Algebra
TL;DR: Some important tutoring techniques the authors have isolated using a variant of knowledge engineering and several dimensions along which tutors appear to be intelligent planners and problem solvers are discussed.

Spanning seven orders of magnitude: a challenge for cognitive modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the task of bridging this gap is analyzed in terms of Newell's (1990) bands of cognition, the Biological, Cognitive, Rational, and Social Bands.

Hinting as a Tactic in One-on-One Tutoring
TL;DR: Hinting is triggered by student errors but ceases when it appears that the student is unable to respond appropriately, and the surface structure of hints is complex and varied, reflecting the fact that the utterances making up hints often serve multiple functions.

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.
