Pittsburgh, PA , Carnegie Learning was founded by cognitive science researchers fromCarnegie Mellon University in conjunction with veteran mathematics teachers.All of the Cognitive Tutor curricula are based on extensive scientific research from
Carnegie Mellon University , along with field tests in schools throughout the United States. The Cognitive Tutors are based on theACT-R theory of learning, memory and performance, which has been validated by hundreds of lab and field studies. The Tutors themselves were developed using a rigorous empirical testing process resulting in over 50 publications validating the effectiveness of cognitive modeling. [Citation
