The spread of educational technologies, the study, and design of new software and applications for mobile devices increasingly connected with systems that collect data, is producing enormous quantities of information.

Abstract
The spread of educational technologies, the study, and design of new software and applications for mobile devices increasingly connected with systems that collect data, is producing enormous quantities of information. The great data collection potential of these applications can be a mine of information that can help psychologists, educators and pedagogues to understand how students learn and, moreover, can help learning researchers to develop more effective educational methodologies, not only for students who have typical cognitive development, but also for students with learning difficulties. In this article we want to explore the potential of these new tools and understand how they can be integrated precisely in those softwares that support weakened learning processes, i.e., how an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) can support the selective attention processes of a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or how he can guide specific training on executive functions. In this article, we propose an example of an algorithm to create a simple ITS to be used in the development of software for cognitive rehabilitation. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
