Many tutors offer students reference material or tips that they can access as needed. We have logged data about student use of references with Deep Thought logic tutor which to understand why and how references are used. We find evidence that students use these references in systematic ways that change over the course of the tutor, and can be predictive of rule application errors. We can use th...

objective: the present study aims to investigate thought control strategies in generalized anxiety disorder (gad), major depressive disorder (mdd), and the relationship of these metacognitive strategies with trait anxiety, as a construct of emotional vulnerability. methods: 60 patients with diagnosis of gad and mdd and 30 control subjects (nonpatients) were selected from the university students...

We propose a novel extension of the encoder-decoder framework, called a review network. The review network is generic and can enhance any existing encoderdecoder model: in this paper, we consider RNN decoders with both CNN and RNN encoders. The review network performs a number of review steps with attention mechanism on the encoder hidden states, and outputs a thought vector after each review s...

In addition to processing information about stimuli in the environment, the cognitive system performs executive functions to control and coordinate the processes that deal with environmental stimuli. Several executive functions may be distinguished: (1) Making choices about alternative strategies for processing environmental stimuli; (2) constructing or instantiating a version of the chosen str...

Struggling to control one's mind can change how the world appears. In prior studies testing the compensatory control theory, reduced control over the external environment motivated the search for perceptual patterns and other forms of structured knowledge, even in remote domains. Going further, the current studies test whether difficulty controlling thoughts similarly predicts structure seeking...
