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

Toward Fully Automated Person-Independent Detection of Mind Wandering
Robert Bixler,Sidney K. D'Mello +1 more
TL;DR: This work investigated the use of eye gaze and contextual cues to automatically detect mind wandering during reading with a computer interface and detected positive responses to mind wandering probes from gaze and context features in a user-independent fashion.

Learning to Learn Revisited: Computers and the Development of Self-Directed Learning Skills
TL;DR: Evidence is presented indicating that computer assisted instruction and computer based information management tools, if used in a properly designed curriculum, can help teach the three main components of self-directed learning explicitly, provide coaching and other forms of scaffolding as learners begin to apply new skills, and increase motivation to learn autonomously.

Instructional simulation from a cognitive psychology viewpoint
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present implications gleaned from cognitive psychology which are important for the design of micro-computer-based instructional simulations, which are often poorly designed from a psychological standpoint and the learning environment they provide is ineffective at best.

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.

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.
