Abstract / Description of output

It is well known that human tutors take into account both the student’s knowledge and understanding of what is being taught, in addition to considering the emotional and motivational state of the student. However, there are many gaps in our understanding of the relationship between cognition and affect in tutoring. We have some insight into how human tutors infer student’s cognitive and affective states, and current research has attempted to apply this knowledge to the inference of such states by computer tutors. There is ongoing research on how human tutors use their knowledge of student’s states in their decisions and actions, and how we might use such research to inform the design of computer tutors.
