CEP 816 - Fall 2023 - KWQLQ about Memory and Cognitive Load by Megan Garza https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0 en-us 2023-09-18 14:38:07 UTC 2023-10-09 22:54:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2049.png Rochelle Erb https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2720154835 Brain based learning is where students practice what they learn.  Which can include 
a pair-share (peer teaching) or concept mapping (for example). Both help students retrieve what they have learned which in turn helps students remember.  ]]> 2023-09-26 00:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2720154835 Rochelle Erb https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2720157105 Amount of information our brain can process]]> 2023-09-26 00:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2720157105 Rochelle Erb https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2720163412 Do our brains have limited working memory like computers?  
What happens to our brains when we overload it with too much information at one time.
Are there techniques we can teach students to help them process and store information so they can put it into long-term memory. ]]> 2023-09-26 00:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2720163412 Jaclyn Samuel https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2721945732 Learning and development are closely linked together. The brain changes as one interacts with their environment, and therefore one's learning experiences play an important role in development. One’s environment has such a significant role in the structure and shaping of their brain development. Cognitive processes are critical to learning, and they influence what and how one learns. One's thinking (cognition) is influenced by one's experiences and genetics. The brain, cognitive development, and learning are all linked.]]> 2023-09-26 20:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2721945732 Jaclyn Samuel https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2721950005 Ways to incorporate into online learning.

It also encourages breaking up the day and lessons by giving your brain a break in order for it to better process the information that is coming in. Cognitive load is your mental capacity to understand and retain the information that you are learning.

Brain-based learning is very effective. Especially in subjects like mathematics, which emphasize logic and relationships between concepts. Cognitive development theory helps teachers analyze what students need to learn first before tackling more challenging topics or what background knowledge they require to grasp current mathematical concepts. All of this requires teachers to understand cognitive science.]]> 2023-09-28 11:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2724495670 Luxin Xue https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2724498464  I would like to gain a deeper understanding of the practical applications of neuroscience and cognitive science in everyday teaching and stay updated on the latest research findings.]]> 2023-09-28 11:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2724498464 Luxin Xue https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2724501557 Can technology truly replace the human brain, especially if cognitive science advances to a certain stage？]]> 2023-09-28 11:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2724501557 Carley Ballou cmballou20 https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2725548376 I've learned that applying my new understanding of memory and cognitive load allows me to give my students a better learning experience. In order to do this, I must design straightforward learning assignments, with minimal distractions and aligning with students' schema. This will enhance their ability to store the new information in their long-term memory.]]> 2023-09-29 03:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2725548376 Carley Ballou cmballou20 https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2725549711 Is there a way to challenge students with new materials without them experiencing cognitive overload? ]]> 2023-09-29 03:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2725549711 Luxin Xue https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727127395 My question is whether modern technology will truly replace the human brain. I realize that my question may not be directly related to the topic, but it does have some relevance. I'm unsure if technology can replace the human brain, but I do believe that it can certainly reduce the workload on the human brain. One of the major goals of my study in educational technology is to apply modern technology to alleviate the workload of teachers. Our teachers are already very tired, but when you think about it, does that mean students are truly learning the knowledge we're teaching? Just because teachers do more doesn't necessarily mean students learn more. And then, cognitive overload serves as a reminder that, influenced by various factors, the human brain has limitations when it comes to absorbing knowledge. This is where technology can help us better manage information, much like many apps that assist you in memorizing GRE vocabulary by following the forgetting curve. Cognitive overload is an important concept that reminds us to be cautious about the impact of information overload and learning burdens on students. Technology can assist us in managing information more effectively and providing education content tailored to students' cognitive characteristics.]]> 2023-09-30 20:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727127395 Ashley Woodworth https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727640719 I have learned that we have complete control over extraneous load, which impacts the students' germane load. I have learned how I can best keep their extraneous load lower, even when the intrinsic load is high. When looking back at my questions, I can answer that yes, this should work well for all learners and can be used in teaching all subjects. Yes we can't control what we teach, but we can control how we teach and deliver it to the students, which is crucial.]]> 2023-10-01 18:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727640719 Jaclyn Samuel https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727705195 The fact that our working memories have a small capacity and a short duration is what we are dealing with as we want to learn more.
 
Too much demand on working memory comes from an abundance of novel information. More information than we can process. But high cognitive load is also strongly influenced by the number of elements in working memory that interact with each other. Often, complex learning is based on interacting elements that must be processed simultaneously. 

When we are able to chunk multiple elements of information together, there is more working memory capacity available for solving problems and processing information.

The change in lexicon was the primary issue in relation to understanding we would be discussing Piaget, Vygotsky, and building upon previous knowledge to build new knowledge. I did find it interesting reading more deeply about cognitive load and have been actively considering this information when planning my lessons. ]]> 2023-10-02 01:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727829552 Zachary VanSickle zvansickle https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727830500 I do not have any remaining questions and am able to answer my questions about cognitivism and cognitive load. ]]> 2023-10-02 01:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2727830500 Rochelle Erb https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2728894322 As teachers we have control over our lessons and the extraneous load on students. Our brains tend to retain 90% more information when the information is in the form of a visual as compared to information that is simply text.  Additionally, scaffolding lessons help reduce student cognitive load.  Connecting content with students prior knowledge and experiences will help transfer new information into long term memory.]]> 2023-10-02 16:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2728894322 I learned that there are two different modes of memory such as explicit and implicit, and how they are different in cognitive loading. I learned as well that students are easily overwhelmed based on different types of cognitive overload and could use step by step instructions that are both auditory and visual. - Maggie https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2736691262 2023-10-07 20:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2736691262 Is there one specific way that all people learn best and is feasible to implement in the classroom for most or all subjects? https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2736691459 2023-10-07 20:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/purcel30/7nepqk5snyid0gw0/wish/2736691459
