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 LISP.

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.

Although a sizable body of knowledge is prerequisite to expert skill, that knowledge must be indexed by large numbers of patterns that, on recognition, guide the expert in a fraction of a second to relevant parts of the knowledge store.

A generative theory of bugs that claims that all bugs of a procedural skill can be derived by a highly constrained form of problem solving acting on incomplete procedures, characterized by formal deletion operations that model incomplete learning and forgetting.

The ACT theory of skill acquisition and its PUPS successor provide production-system models of the acquisition of skills such as LISP programming, geometry theorm-proving, and solving of algebraic equations.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesAn investigation of computer coaching for informal learning activities
511 Citations1979Richard R. Burton, John Seely Brown
The intention in writing this paper is to make explicit the vast amounts of tutorial knowledge required to construct a coaching system that is robust, friendly and intelligent enough to survive in home or classroom use.

The processes by which subjects write LISP functions to meet problem specifications has been modeled in a simulation program called GRAPES (Goal Restricted Production System), which simulates the top-down, depth-first flow of control exhibited by subjects and produces code very similar to subject code.

281 Citations1979William J. Clancey
This paper describes the rule-based formalism used by MYCIN-like programs, and argues that these programs are not sufficient in themselves as teaching tools, and claims that it is desirable to represent teaching expertise explicitly, using a flexible framework that makes it possible to easily modify tutorial strategies and communicate them to other researchers.

Four optimization strategies are proposed and evaluated experimentally to optimize the learning of a large German-English vocabulary; these strategies are computer controlled and take account of S's response history in making decisions about which items to present next.

Apparently, this transfer mechanism acts on declarative propositional representations of the production rules, suggesting that it is more similar to comprehension processes than to conventional practice mechanisms, or to Anderson’s learning principles.
