Palmqvist, Lisa ; Kirkegaard, Camilla ; Silvervarg, Annika ; Haake, Magnus LU and Gulz, Agneta LU (2015) The 17th International Conferenece on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2015) In Lecture Notes in Computer Science 9112. p.670-673
Abstract
The current study investigated if and how students' behaviour when using a teachable agent-based educational software were related to their working memory capacity. Thirty Swedish students aged 11-12, participated in the study. Results showed that differences in behaviour such as time spent on an off-task activity, time spent on interactive dialogues, and the number of tests that students let their TA take, were associated with differences in working memory capacity.
