This visual simplifies and illustrates the complexities of Cognitive Theory. The theory itself involves intricate mental processes, this graphic makes it easy to understand,.

What is Cognitivism?

I thought this YouTube video provided a strong overall summary, and it included several useful lists that could be applied when designing lessons.

This was an interesting slideshow presentation created to explain cognitive development in different ages of children.

I found an article about Cognitivism on a site called Structural Learning; whose purpose is for showing a variety of learning styles for instructors. This venn diagram chart in the article compares Cognitivism and Constructivism.

While the video is a bit cheesy, it gives a brief overview of cognitivism and provides a scenario in which the theory is applied in the classroom, which I found helpful in understanding the theory.

Though this is a site for a company that provides online corporate training sessions, this article contains a good overview of Gagne's Nine Levels of Learning, which was outlined in the cognitivism section in Saunders and Wong (2020). The infographic above illustrates the Nine levels and within the article, there is an explanation chart that gives an example associated with each level.

This book Teaching in a Digital Age discusses approaches to learning. This chapter criticizes behaviorism, noting that it does not take conscious thought and decision making processes into account.

Cognitivist thought includes considerations of mental processes, taking cues from cognitive psychology.

This chapter helped to break down cognitivist learning theory and its focus on domains of learning and teaching students how to learn.

This was a short breakdown on the history of cognitivism, information processing, and the schemas included in this learning theory.

This video does include how attention and memory impact problem solving. Notably, this video has a criticism of cognitivism being an oversimplification of human cognition and how it separates thought from social cultural contexts. Cognition is not an individual process but something that is impacted by social and cultural environments (situated cognition).

This website gives and overview of the cognitive processes this learning theory focuses on, approaches that can be used to facilitate learning using this style, and the key implications.

This website, helpfully, links several videos and some podcasts as well. I thought it was a good resource because it gives the options of reading, watching, or listening about cognitivism.

This article from Educational Technology dives into how much memory and information being processed plays a part in Cognitivism. One of the more interesting facts listed in the article was how its roots dated back to the 1950s; when research done on other cognitive processes and models began to shape the learning theories we know now.

A short video showing how this K-12 instructor mapped out how Cognitivism works. This video in general is a good visual example on how a person's memory can work as a mental model of information being taught to them. I think this works alongside other visual representations of other learning models, not only as a way of showing a mental model in action but also explaining the description of what Cognitivism is.

This is an interactive infographic that explores three main learning theories with cognitivism highlighted in the green boxes. It gives a food overview of the process and selecting the boxes gives additional information about the term or phrase in the box. It includes the idea of cognitive overload and information processing, which were referenced by Saunders and Wong (2020).
