Albert T. Corbett is an associate research professor emeritus of human–computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon University.{{cite web | title = HCII Webpage | year = 2011 | url = http://www.hcii.cmu.edu/people/faculty | access-date = 2011-08-20| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110720225330/http://www.hcii.cmu.edu/people/faculty| archive-date= 20 July 2011 | url-status= live}} He is widely known for his role in the development of the Cognitive Tutor software,{{cite news |title=IF 2X + 4X = 7X, THIS TUTORING SOFTWARE CAN HELP|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/g/GooglePM/PI/lib00187,0EB3309DF0ED0BAA.html |newspaper=Philadelphia Inquirer |date= October 15, 1998 |access-date=18 August 2011}} leading to one article with over 1,000 citations.{{Cite journal|author1=J.
