  3. The Cognitive System Central to the development of psychology as a scientific discipline • Wilhelm Wundt’s laboratory (1879) • Dominate approach within psychology today • Can be compared/contrasted with • Behavioral view • Psychoanalytic view • Humanistic view • Social Cognition view

  4. The Cognitive System There are a variety of perspectives and emphases within cognitive psychology that are currently impacting educators' thinking about how to improve the teaching/learning process. Focuses on the study of the structure and function of mental processing within specific contexts, environments, or ecologies Information Processing

  5. The Cognitive System There are a variety of perspectives and emphases within cognitive psychology that are currently impacting educators' thinking about how to improve the teaching/learning process. Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain Method for classifying the variety of educational objectives related to what and how we know

  6. The Cognitive System There are a variety of perspectives and emphases within cognitive psychology that are currently impacting educators' thinking about how to improve the teaching/learning process. Focus on how human beings learn from experience, reason well, remember important information, and adapt to the environment Intelligence

  7. The Cognitive System There are a variety of perspectives and emphases within cognitive psychology that are currently impacting educators' thinking about how to improve the teaching/learning process. Describes the process and stages by which human beings develop the capacity to engage in abstract symbolic thought, one of the distinguishing features of human activity Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development

  8. The Cognitive System There are a variety of perspectives and emphases within cognitive psychology that are currently impacting educators' thinking about how to improve the teaching/learning process. Often contrasted with the views of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development Jerome Bruner (focus on structure and function of children’s thinking)

  9. The Cognitive System There are a variety of perspectives and emphases within cognitive psychology that are currently impacting educators' thinking about how to improve the teaching/learning process. Often contrasted with the views of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development Lev Vygotsky (emphasis on the social/cultural influences on children's thinking).

  10. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. Study of the process of applying our cognitive processes to evaluating arguments (propositions) and making decisions Critical Thinking

  11. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. Study of how we generate ideas and alternatives that don't fit the "norm" Creative Thinking

  12. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. Creative and critical thinking are often contrasted as the difference between Thinking pattern that we use when we want to narrow down and evaluate ideas Convergent thinking

  13. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. Creative and critical thinking are often contrasted as the difference between Thinking pattern we use when we want to expand or develop new ideas Divergent thinking

  14. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. A similar comparison is between left-brain and right-brain orientations in the literature on brain lateralization dominance.

  15. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. The study of how we develop knowledge about one's own cognitive system Metacognition

  16. The Cognitive System Several different areas of inquiry provide an opportunity to test out these different theories. Study methods that provide information about how we can be most effective and efficient during the process of learning SQ3R, SQ4R, PQ4R

  17. The Cognitive System Any study of the teaching/learning process in the modern era demands a thorough study of the cognitive approach.

  18. The Cognitive System The presentations and materials available in the section on cognition will provide a brief overview of these different approaches to the study of this important topic.
