Study Notes
Cognitive Architecture
- Cognitive architectures are executable software programs designed to model human behavior.
- They are usually not sufficient on their own to describe performance on specific tasks and require additional task-specific information.
- This information is typically obtained through detailed task analysis of the target activity.
- Cognitive architectures differ from most cognitive psychology theories because they are coded by programmers.
Bloom's Taxonomy
- It's a hierarchical system for categorizing learning objectives according to their complexity.
- It encompasses three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
- The original cognitive model was revised in 2001, emphasizing a more dynamic approach, utilizing verbs for the active learning process.
Affective Domain
- It deals with feelings and emotions.
- It was a second handbook, extending Bloom's original work.
Meta-cognition
- Cognitive strategy: The knowledge of how to achieve a goal.
- Meta-cognitive strategy: Checking to ensure successful goal achievement.
- Cognitive strategy instruction can improve meta-cognition.
Critical Thinking
- Involves collecting and analyzing information to reach a conclusion.
- It improves problem-solving, decision-making, and tackling complex problems.
- Key skills include: analytical thinking, creativity, and open-mindedness.
- Creative thinking steps:
- Gather existing information.
- Consider obvious solutions.
- Brainstorm additional solutions.
- Analyze connections between topics.
- Apply solutions.
Benefits of Creative Thinking
- Adds value to personal and others' lives.
- Fosters self-reliance and confidence.
- Encourages exploration of new ideas.
- Reveals hidden talents.
Applying Creative Thinking to Learning
- Encourage risk-taking.
- Use mental games and puzzles.
- Ask "why" and "how" questions.
- Generate multiple solutions by divergent thinking.

Stages of Creative Thinking
- Preparation: The inspiration phase.
- Incubation: Absorbing and processing information.
- Insight: The "Eureka" moment.
- Evaluation: Testing the idea.
Concept Mapping
- A node-link diagram showcasing semantic relationships between concepts.
- It's a tool for organizing and representing knowledge.
- Provides a framework for reaching high levels of cognitive performance.
- Useful for both learning and evaluation.
Benefits of Concept Mapping
- Facilitates brainstorming and generating new ideas.
- Encourages discovery of new concepts and their connections.
- Enhances communication of ideas.
- Integrates new concepts with existing knowledge.
- Improves knowledge acquisition and evaluation.
Building a Concept Map
- Start with a main idea, topic, or focus question.
- Identify the key concepts.
- Organize concepts hierarchically, from most general to specific.
- Link concepts using labelled arrows (propositions)
