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

Inspectability and control in social recommenders
TL;DR: An online user experiment with a Facebook music recommender system that gives users control over the recommendations is performed, and the results show that inspectability and control indeed increase users' perceived understanding of and control of the system, their rating of the recommendation quality, and their satisfaction with the system.

Social Adaptive Navigation Support for Open Corpus Electronic Textbooks
TL;DR: The system, Knowledge Sea II, presented in this paper explores social adaptive navigation support, an approach for providing personalized guidance in the open corpus context that is based on past learners’ interaction with the system.

Toward Automatic Hint Generation for Logic Proof Tutoring Using Historical Student Data
Tiffany Barnes,John C. Stamper +1 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of this approach to automatically generate hints for an intelligent tutor that learns is demonstrated by extracting MDPs from four semesters of student solutions in a logic proof tutor, and the probability that they will be able to generate hints at any point in a given problem is calculated.

A Comparison of Traditional Homework to Computer-Supported Homework.
TL;DR: The implications of this study are that it may be worth the cost and effort to give Web-based homework when students have access to the needed equipment, such as in schools that have implemented one-to-one computing programs.

Computer vs. Workbook Instruction in Second Language Acquisition
TL;DR: The results of the study show that given the same grammar notes and exercises, ongoing intelligent computer feedback is more effective than simple workbook answer sheets for developing learners' grammatical skill in producing Japanese particles and sentences.

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.
