Study Notes
Blooms Taxonomy
- Cognitive Domain: 6 levels of cognitive processing, including Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation
- Affective Domain: 5 levels of emotional processing, including Receiving, Responding, Valuing, Organization, and Characterization
- Psychomotor Domain: 7 levels of physical processing, including Perception, Set, Guided Response, Mechanism, Complex Overt Response, Adaptation, and Origination
Stage Theory of Information
- 3 stages: Sensory Memory, Short-term Memory, and Long-term Memory
- Sensory Memory: fleeting, lasts about 1-3 seconds
- Short-term Memory: lasts about 20 seconds
- Long-term Memory: firm, tied to existing schema
Constructivism
- Learning theory that emphasizes the role of prior knowledge and experiences in shaping new learning
- Learner actively constructs their own learning through interaction with their environment
- New information must tie into existing values, beliefs, and knowledge
Vygotsky's Theory of Learning
- Social learning is integral to cognitive development
- Culture, not developmental stage, underlies cognitive development
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): the distance between what a learner can do unaided and what they can do with guidance
- More Knowledgeable Other (MKO): a person who provides guidance and support in the ZPD
- Scaffolding: the process of providing guidance and support to help learners reach their full potential
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
- Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years): learning basic Schemas and Object Permanence
- Preoperational Stage (2-7 years): developing more Schemas and symbolic thought
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): working out problems mentally
- Formal Operational Stage (11+ years): abstract thought and logic development
Other Theorists
- David Paul Ausubel: Subsumption Theory of Meaningful Verbal Learning
- Rumelhart and Norman: Schema Theory, including Schema Evolution and Tuning

Description
Learn about David Paul Ausubel's Subsumption Theory that focuses on new information being incorporated into existing cognitive structures for meaningful learning. This theory emphasizes the importance of organizing and differentiating cognitive structures for effective learning.
