Educational Psychology Interactive. Valdosta, GA: Valdosta State University. Retrieved [date] from, Return to: | Overview of the Cognitive System | EdPsyc: Courses | more in-depth paper | Overview As stated in the introduction to this section, cognitive psychology represents the dominant approach in psychology today. General principles The first is the assumption of a limited capacity of the mental system. A second principle is that a control mechanism is required to oversee the encoding, transformation, processing, storage, retrieval and utilization of information.

Stage Model of Information Processing One of the major issues in cognitive psychology is the study of memory. This model proposes that information is processed and stored in 3 stages. Short-term memory (STM). Long-term memory (LTM). Cognitive Information Processing Theory—expertlearners.com. Expert Learners: Summary of Cognitive Information Processing Cognitive information processing (CIP) theory is often referred to as simply "information processing. " Information processing is not really the name of a single theory; it is a generic name applied to various theoretical perspectives dealing with the sequence and execution of cognitive events.

Schunk (1996) offers the following helpful summary/definition: Information processing theories focus on how people: attend to environmental events, encode information to be learned and relate it to knowledge in memory, store new knowledge in memory, and retrieve it as needed. Thus, learners are viewed as active seekers and processors of information. CIP's Memory Model At the heart of CIP theory is its proposed memory system.

Pay attention not only to the basic components or memory stages: sensory memory; short-term memory (STM); and long-term memory (LTM), attention; rehearsal; chunking; encoding; and retrieval.

Table of Contents Computers, Graphics, & Learning Copyright 2000 Lloyd P. Rieber Chapter 4 Psychological Foundations of Instructional Graphics This chapter reviews several major learning theories related to using graphics in instruction. Comprehension After reading this chapter, you should be able to: Describe the major features of behavioral and cognitive learning theories.

Application Generate a list of instructional graphic design principles derived from behavioral learning theory. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of some of the psychological foundations related to learning from graphic displays. Learning theory has had considerable influence on instructional practice in general, and computer-based instruction in particular. Behavioral Learning Theory The design of computer-based instruction has gone through an evolutionary cycle. Behaviorism is founded on the formation and strength of stimulus-response (S-R) associations (Gropper, 1983). Cognitive Learning Theory. Hang This In Your Kitchen. Seriously, This Idea Is Genius. Www.wseas.us/e-library/transactions/education/2008/education-ex.pdf. InstructionalDesign. Instructional Design Instructional design is the systematic specification of instruction to include: objectives, presentation, activities, materials, guidance, feedback and evaluation.

It applies learning principles to decisions about information content, instructional method, use of media and delivery system. The goal is to ensure instructional quality, effectiveness, efficiency and enjoyment. The purpose of instructional design is to maximize the value of instruction for the learner — especially the learner's time. A detailed overview of this process is provided in the section called "The Design Process". Instructional Strategy: Key Elements & Issues The Cognitive Design Model provides a systematic approach to developing instructional strategy. Cognitive Information Processing The following Cognitive Information Processing model (CIP) of learning presents a well-established paradigm of cognitive-behavioral psychology.

Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) IDKB - Models/Theories. Learning happens when a correct response is demonstrated following the presentation of a specific environmental stimulus Learning can be detected by observing an organism over a period of time Emphasis is on observable and measurable behaviors Uses a "black box" metaphor - the learner is a black box, what happens inside is unknown Emphasis is on relationships between environmental variables and behavior Instruction utilizes consequences and reinforcement of learned behaviors Believes behavior is guided by purpose Cues are antecedents to behavior and set the conditions for its occurence Learning is a change of knowledge state Knowledge acquisition is described as a mental activity that entails internal coding and structuring by the learner Learner is viewed as an active participant in the learning process Emphasis is on the building blocks of knowledge (e.g. identifying prerequisite relationships of content) Focus is on how learners remember, retrieve, and store information in memory.

Theory-informed instructional design tips. In my previous article, I proposed a Taxonomy of Learning Theories to organise a few of the myriad of theories into some semblance of order, and to assist instructional designers in using theory to inform their work. In this article, I go one step further by listing specific, practical instructional design tips that are informed by those theories. But beware… You will find empirical evidence reported in the academic literature that supports these tips, and no doubt you can find just as much evidence that refutes them. I don’t purport them to be Gospel, and I certainly consider them highly dependent on context. Having said that, however, I do vouch for my tips in terms of my own experience in the workplace, where I’ve applied them in various combinations to real-world cases. I hope you find my list useful too – not so much as a checklist to incorporate every theory into your work – but rather to ensure that you have at least considered what they have to offer.

How To Capture Screenshots with OS X’s Built-in Grab App. Posted 01/10/2011 at 10:25am | by Cory Bohon One of little known utilities in Mac OS X is Grab. This application can do what most of the other “professional” screenshot applications charge for, including selection, window, screen, and timed screenshots.

With a few mouse clicks, you will be able to capture and export a screenshot to anywhere on your Mac. The advantage to using Grab over the built-in screen capture shortcuts in OS X is that you won’t clutter up your Desktop with images. Instead, Grab will open up a preview window where you can decide whether or not you want to save the image. Capturing Screenshots with Grab To capture a screenshot with Grab, you’ll first need to open up the application (located in /Applications/Utilities).

To capture the screen, go to the Capture menu. 1. 2. 3. 4. Saving Screenshots with Grab After you take a screenshot using any of the above methods, a new window will open containing a preview of your screenshot. Image Inspector. Earth. Google Scholar.
