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

Does Help Help? Introducing the Bayesian Evaluation and Assessment Methodology
TL;DR: How help can both scaffold the current problem attempt as well as teach the student knowledge that will transfer to later problems is described, suggesting that the Bayesian Evaluation and Assessment framework is the strongest of the three.

Knowledge Acquisition for Expert Systems
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of approaches and techniques that are currently in use for the knowledge acquisition process in knowledge based system development.
Implications of Cognitive Science Research for Mathematics Education
TL;DR: Gelman and Gallistel as discussed by the authors showed that children understand the stable order principle by almost always saying the number words in aconstant order, usually this is the conventional order, but occasionally it is an idiosyncratic order, such as "1, 3, 6".

Designing Instructional Computing Systems for Meaningful Learning
TL;DR: The design of instructional computing systems is discussed within the context of current psychological theories of meaningful learning and teaching and it is suggested that twelve “learning functions” must be engaged by either the instructional agent or the student if effective learning is to occur.

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.
