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

AutoTutor: an intelligent tutoring system with mixed-initiative dialogue
TL;DR: Grounded in constructivist learning theories and tutoring research, AutoTutor achieves learning gains of approximately 0.8 sigma (nearly one letter grade), depending on the learning measure and comparison condition.

When Good Teaching Leads to Bad Results: The Disasters of 'Well-Taught' Mathematics Courses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a case study in mathematics instruction, focusing on the development of mathematical understandings that took place in a 10-grade geometry class and two pictures of the instruction and its results emerged from the study.

ELM-ART: An Adaptive Versatile System for Web-based Instruction
Gerhard Weber,Peter Brusilovsky +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that versatility is an important feature of successful Web-based education systems and ELM-ART, an intelligent interactive educational system to support learning programming in LISP, demonstrates how some interactive and adaptive educational component can be implemented in WWW context and how multiple components can be naturally integrated together in a single system.

The Andes Physics Tutoring System: Lessons Learned
Kurt VanLehn,Collin F. Lynch,Kay G. Schulze,Joel A. Shapiro,Robert Shelby,Linwood Taylor,Don Treacy,Anders Weinstein,Mary C. Wintersgill +8 more
TL;DR: The Andes system demonstrates that student learning can be significantly increased by upgrading only their homework problem-solving support, and its key feature appears to be the grain-size of interaction.

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.
