Adaptive Learning and Intelligent Tutor Systems: Rebecca Lazarides, Niels Pinkwart, Verena Hafner (SCIoI)
MAR23 5.006 Marchstraße 23, Berlin, GermanyThursday Morning Lectures Abstract: In educational psychology, the benefits and limitations of adaptive learning processes are currently under debate. In computer science, Intelligent Tutor Systems (ITS) exist that are adaptive to learners' level of skills and knowledge, but it is an open research question how novel user modelling approaches and feedback strategies in ITS incorporating

Alex Kacelnik (University of Oxford): What are minds for, and how do they work?
MAR23 4.064 Marchstraße 23, Berlin, GermanyPI Lecture Series Abstract: The biological perspective on intelligence is well represented by the following quotes: “Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?” (George Williams) and “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish
John-Dylan Haynes (SCIoI): “What can neuroimaging tell us about human intelligence?”
MAR23 4.064 Marchstraße 23, Berlin, GermanyThe concept of intelligence in cognitive science has been highly elusive. One pragmatic approach to understanding intelligence is to use classical intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). In such tests, performance is assessed in a number of specific subtask items, and the performance across these items is then integrated to an
