Abstract
Encouraging results of last years in the field of knowledge representation within virtual learning environments confirms that artificial intelligence research in this topic find it very beneficial to integrate the knowledge psychological research have accumulated on understanding the cognitive mechanism of human learning and all the positive results obtained in computational modelling theories. This chapter introduces a novel cognitive and computational knowledge representation approach inspired by cognitive theories which explain the human cognitive activity in terms of memory subsystems and their processes, and whose aim is to suggest formal computational models of knowledge that offer efficient and expressive representation structures for virtual learning. Practical studies both contribute to validate the novel approach and permit to draw general conclusions.
