The Cognitive Process

Cognition is important in human learning.

Cognitive Strategies

Are mental plans that we apply to manage our thinking and behavior during problem solving or learning.

Cognitive Strategies

Student-centered instruction

Students must be actively involved in the learning process.

Student-centered instruction

Activating prior knowledge

Prior knowledge plays a major role in constructing meaning.

Activating prior knowledge

Social interactions

Social interactions are necessary for students to develop authentic learning.

Social interactions

Problem solving

The creative process of solving a problem happens when students engage themselves in meaningful learning.

Problem solving

Elaboration

As much as possible, we avoid the use of memorization of basic facts.

Elaboration

Concept learning

Concept learning equates with knowledge construction.

Concept learning

The Basic Units of Cognition

There are five basic units of cognition: concepts, propositions, schemata, productions, and scripts.

The Basic Units of Cognition

Concepts

are the building blocks of cognition; concepts are general labels that we attach to categories of things and information that share common characteristics.

Propositions

Analyzing the proposition given necessitates that semantic units such as words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and text should be clearly understood.

Propositions

Schemata

A mental structure that helps us organize knowledge; it aids us to understand all the things around us.

Schemata

Productions

If proposition are basic units of declarative knowledge, productions, on the other hand, are basic units of procedural knowledge.

Productions

Scripts

These are knowledge representations that set the framework for procedural knowledge.

Scripts

The Cognitive Process of Experts and Expert Systems

The Cognitive Process of Experts and Expe...

Andrade and May (2004) have identified the different key points in cognitive process of experts and expert systems.

Special Knowledge

Focused on what experts know more about certain than other people.

Special Knowledge

Domain

Pertains to the experts' ability to extend and advanced their thinking because they seem to produce set where the problems are or can be represented.

Domain

Analogical Reasoning

Deals with the experts' ability to use their domain-specific knowledge in other situations.

Analogical Reasoning

Expert systems

Account for the use of strategies such as chunking of facts and information into higher-order tasks that require well-organized rules and schemas.

Expert systems

Creativity

Hinges on expert knowledge and perseverance.

Creativity

The Complex Process of Cognition

Our everyday experiences are replete with simple-to-complex events that call for cognitive process.

Perception

We interact with an attempt to influence others. We communicate through speech, expressive gestures, and paralinguistic techniques.

Perception

Attention

Sociologists have emphasized the symbolic aspects of social interactions.

Attention

Memory

We interpret the behaviors of others and react to them in various ways and in terms of what is believed to be their meanings.

Memory

Language

We communicate with and influence others in ways that are unintentional, unconscious, non-symbolic, and nonverbal.

Language

Reasoning

Various researchers have pondered on the aspects of interactions that are associated with basic biological responses.

Reasoning

Decision-making

Although every culture is unique in itself, we continue to communicate in various modes and decide to share certain characterics.

Decision-making

Problem solving

Differences in opinion, thought processes, language, or metaphysical beliefs become major sources of problems and conflicts.
