There are gaps in our cognitive architecture. Computers, for example, can perform rote routines flawlessly, and deal with large and arbitrary amounts of information. There are other gaps in our cognitive architecture. To go further, cognitive science recognizes that cognition is ‘distributed’, that is, it’s not all in our heads.

When it’s about learning, the science tells us to focus on the performance objective, align meaningful practice, guide decisions with predictive models, and illustrate those models in context via examples. In particular, their cognitive affordances, what they do that you can’t do in other ways. Also, address the emotional aspects.

Still, cognitive science and design practices give us guidance there, as needed. We also have examples that show how these models work in context. As a side note, the contexts we see across examples and practice define the ‘space’ of situations where our learning interventions will transfer to.

For the ‘drip irrigation’ model of spaced learning, it’s knowing what the initial foundation must be, what size chunks must be used, what should be the quantity and frequency of reactivation, and when to use models, examples, activities, reflection, and more, to support the skill development. makes the most sense.

For example, it’s instead the setup, decision, consequences, and outcomes. To do so requires choosing an appropriate set of contexts across which they see (both in examples outside the scenarios as well as the ones experienced within). Similarly, the examples should complement the practice in creating the overall experience.
