The Combination of a Causal and Emotional Learning Mechanism for an Improved Cognitive Tutoring Agent

This paper describes a Conscious Tutoring System (CTS) capable of dynamic fine-tuned assistance to users. We put forth the combination of a Causal Learning and Emotional learning mechanism within CTS that will allow it to first establish, through data mining algorithms, gross user group models. CTS then uses these models to find the cause of mistakes made by users, evaluate their performance, predict their future behavior, and, through a Pedagogical Knowledge mechanism, decide which tutoring intervention fits best.
