Cognitive Tutors

We develop intelligent systems for accelerating cognitive growth and teaching cognitive skills. As a first step, we have developed a cognitive tutor that teaches people optimal planning strategies.

The basic idea is to provide metacognitive feedback so as to accelerate metacognitive reinforcement learning towards to the optimal cognitive strategy. Here is an example of what the cognitive tutor's feedback looks like:
