Week 2 - Discussion
The Cognitivist Movement
Prior to engaging in this discussion, read Chapter 2: The emergence of Cognitive Research, from your text, watch the video, TEDTalks: Peter Doolittle—How Your “Working Memory”
Makes Sense of the World , and the Instructor
Guidance.
For this discussion, you will be considering
the variables that differentiate cognitivism from behaviorism and how this area
of understanding ‘how we learn,’ affects our own ability to effectively acquire
new knowledge and apply to our personal and professional goals.
As you have read this week, cognitivism is a
theory that addresses the mind’s contribution to how we learn. The cognitive
revolution (although considered by some as an overly stated fact) is suggested
to have been a response to the behaviorist movement that rejected introspection
(anti-mentalism), and controversially lead to, what some consider, a
dissolvent of the behaviorist movement. Consider the following questions
about cognitivism and discuss each, basing your posture on this week’s
readings, your past experiences, and your past knowledge.
·
Why is it suggested
that cognitivists disagree with the behaviorist view that learning only occurs
if there is an outward manifestation? What other notable differences do these
two theories suggest?
·
Do you agree with the
cognitivist view that learning is a change in one’s schemata? (Support with
citations.)
·
How have your personal
schemata changed throughout your life? (Could be about learning, but also about
other domains such as love, honesty, hard work, loyalty, etc.)
·
List an example of a
schema that has changed, in your own knowledge development. involving the field
of psychology.
·
Based on cognitivism,
what implications does it suggest is a potential concern for effectively
processing information when cognitive load is not effectually considered?
o Do you recall a time where learning was difficult
because there were too many components all at once? What strategy(ies) did you
use to work through this situation?
Peer Replies: Read several of your classmates’ posts
and respond to at least two of your classmates, and at least one of your
classmates’ responses to your initial post. Do you and
your peer have similar or differing views? Share your own schemata changes that
you have experienced.
