I'm playing a bit of catch up after a particularly busy month - although the way things are looking that'll be the pattern for the foreseeable future. The European e-learning market appears to be thriving in stark contrast to the ongoing financial crisis and what looks like an inevitable recession in the US. As I raised in an early post - training budget shock - e-learning is now very much a

Upbeat Learning Technologies 2008
Lars is Learning
FEBRUARY 2, 2008
I spent last week in London at Learning Technologies Exhibition and Conference. The general mood amongst the vendors and attendees I felt demonstrated a confidence in the future at odds with the wider economic gloom that the media and city types would have us believe. While the longer term impact of globalisation and an overstretched financial sector will clearly affect us all, I wonder if we
Inaccurate claims of brain training benefits

I've been an avid supporter of Nintendo for the past two years or so, for their design prowess and dramatic success in widening the appeal of gaming. Indeed they're redefining recreational digital fun to include - shock - the learning of new skills. Brain Training in particular has been a left field success. I bought the game when it first launched in the US back in 2006 and was intrigued by the

Research merry-go-round up

MARCH 1, 2009
I've been sitting on a number of research/news snippets which are all interesting but demonstrate how fluid the respective fields of neuroscience, cognitive psychology and educational study are. Sometimes it's hard to draw immediately practical inferences. Things are moving so fast that you can move from positions of contradiction, congruence and back to contradiction in a matter of days.
Learning and Cognitive Load
B Online Learning
FEBRUARY 25, 2015
In a previous post, I looked at the fundamentals of cognitive load theory. In summary, to assist learners in transferring information from their working memory to their long-term memory, we need to present the information in such a way that it reduces extraneous cognitive load (non-relevant items) and, if possible, increases germane cognitive load (items […].

In Defense of Cognitive Psychology

So here’s a response, in defense of cognitive psychology. is in Cognitive Psychology, so I may be defensive and biased, but I’ll try to present scrutable evidence. Take, for example, cognitive load.
Cognition external
Clark Quinn
JUNE 12, 2019
I was thinking a bit about distributed cognition, and recognized that there as a potentially important way to tease that apart. Or, really, a way that at least partly, we have cognition external. The alternative to performance support, a sort of cognitive scaffolding , is to think about representation. So both of these forms of distributed cognition are externalizing our thinking in ways that our minds have trouble comprehending.

Situated Cognition
Clark Quinn
JULY 18, 2018
In a recent article , I wrote about three types of cognition that are changing how we think about how we think (how meta!). I think it’s important to understand these cognitions, and their implications. First, I want to talk about situated cognition. Cognitive psychology was a rebellion from this perspective. Associated with this was a new model of cognition. The post Situated Cognition appeared first on Learnlets.
Cognitions By Contexts
Clark Quinn
JUNE 20, 2019
I have, in the past, talked about the three cognitions: situated , distributed , and social. So here’s some preliminary thoughts (ok, they’ve already been processed a few times) on considering cognitions by contexts. Cutting through the contexts by cognitions, we can make some prescriptions. But here you see me ‘think out loud’ as I try to consider Cognitions By Contexts. The post Cognitions By Contexts appeared first on Learnlets.
Distributed Cognition
Clark Quinn
JULY 24, 2018
In my last post , I talked about situated cognition. A second, and related, cognitive revelation is that thinking is distributed between our heads and the world. Hutchins, in his Cognition in the Wild, documented a variety of ways that our thinking is an artefact of our tools and our models. The post Distributed Cognition appeared first on Learnlets.
Social Cognition
Clark Quinn
JULY 25, 2018
In the two preceding posts, I discussed situated and distributed cognition. In this closing post of the series, I want to talk about social cognition. The traditional definition of social cognition is how we think about social interactions. That’s partly distributed cognition, but I want to emphasize it. The post Social Cognition appeared first on Learnlets. They’re related, and yet each needs explicit consideration.
Contexts By Cognitions
Clark Quinn
JULY 2, 2019
So, in my last post , I talked about exploring the links between cognitions on the one hand (situated, distributed, social), and contexts (aligning with how we think, work, & learn). I did it one way, but then I thought to do it another, to instead consider Contexts by Cognitions, to see if I came to the same elements. The outcome of considering contexts by cognitions improved the outcomes, I think. The post Contexts By Cognitions appeared first on Learnlets.

The Planet Captivate Blog – Cognitive Load

However, one topic that Jim has helped me to better understand is that of cognitive load. Since Jim’s and my first discussion about cognitive load, I’ve challenged myself to dive into learning more about it, specifically, proactively targeting a learner’s cognitive load while developing eLearning content. There are a variety of terms used with regards to cognitive load theory, but I keep finding myself visualizing it in my mind as a car’s tachometer.
Cognitive and Learning Sciences
Clark Quinn
MAY 23, 2018
And this is the cognitive level! Do you mean neural, or cognitive, or…? Cognitive science as a field was defined to be an integrative approach to everything about our thinking: consciousness, language, emotion, and more. Departments of cognitive science tend to include psychologists, linguists, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and, yes, neuroscientists. And, to be clear, learning sciences are a subset of the cognitive sciences.
Reconciling Cognitions and Contexts
Clark Quinn
JULY 3, 2019
In my past two posts, I first looked at cognitions (situated, distributed, social) by contexts (think, work, and learn), and then the reverse. Here’s the result of reconciling cognitions and contexts. So, taking each cell back in the original pass of cognitions by contexts, what results? So I think it was interesting and valuable (to my thinking, at least ;) to consider reconciling cognitions and contexts.
Cognitive Business
Clark Quinn
JANUARY 18, 2017
There are applications of cognitive science (including neuroscience, cognitive psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, etc) to more areas of business than just L&D. The post Cognitive Business appeared first on Learnlets. One of my mantras is that organizations need to align better with how we think, work, and learn. However, my focus has been specifically on what L&D can be doing (as that’s the folk I mostly talk to).
Cognitive prostheses
Clark Quinn
OCTOBER 28, 2014
While our cognitive architecture has incredible capabilities (how else could we come up with advances such as Mystery Science Theater 3000?), it also has limitations. The same adaptive capabilities that let us cope with information overload in both familiar and new ways also lead to some systematic flaws. And it led me to think about the ways in which we support these limitations, as they have implications for designing solutions for our organizations.
Working with Cognitive Load

AUGUST 12, 2014
I came across a book called Efficiency in Learning: Evidence-Based Guidelines to Manage Cognitive Loadby Ruth […]. When I first started working as an eLearninginstructional designer I became interested in the learning process and how people learn. I figured that if I knew more about information processing and learning, I could hopefully design more effective courses.
Chief Cognitive Officer?
Clark Quinn
FEBRUARY 13, 2018
And I’m wondering if a focus on cognitive science needs to be foregrounded. Regardless, we have considerable empirical evidence and conceptual frameworks that give us excellent advice about things like distributed, situated, and social cognition. That area is cognitive expertise. So I’m calling for a Chief Cognitive Officer. One problem is that there’s too little of cognitive awareness anywhere in the organization.

Yet another year has come and gone at the speed of light! For me, 2016 has been the year in which the Virtual Reality rubber finally met the road, while Augmented Reality made a surprise splash into the mainstream via those pesky Pikachu. As a consequence, VR & AR dominated much of my blogging attention this year. But they weren’t the be-all-and-end-all of the e-learning universe.
Coping with Cognition
Clark Quinn

Our cognition is powerful, but also limited. I’m cutting our cognition some slack. The post Coping with Cognition appeared first on Learnlets. Our brains are amazing things. They make sense of the world, and have developed language to help us both make better sense together and to communicate our learnings. And yet, this same amazing architecture has some vulnerabilities too.
Cognitive Bias in Learning: An Overview
Dashe & Thomson
MARCH 14, 2019
What Are Cognitive Biases? Cognitive biases result when these coping mechanisms fail. Put simply, a cognitive bias is an error in the way we think. Our brains receive non-stop input from all five senses every moment we are awake. In the face of this enormous amount of daily input, our brains develop subconscious coping mechanisms that we can use to quickly make daily decisions.
Demystifying Cognitive Load Theory
ID Mentors
MARCH 27, 2019
Cognitive load theory is credited to the work and research of John Sweller in the 1980s. Hopefully, this will reduce Cognitive Load! What does Cognitive Load mean? The effort required to process new information by your working memory is known as Cognitive Load. High cognitive load requires more working memory resources and thus impacts the learning process. How can you determine if the Cognitive Load is high or low? Two factors impact Cognitive Load.
A Cognitive Audit?
Clark Quinn
JANUARY 11, 2017
In the recent Chief Learning Officer magazine, I wrote an article on the basics of the cognitive science of learning. And therefore, I reckon L&D needs to know the cognitive background. Knowing a suitable level of cognitive science is one thing, using that to assess your practices is another. Not at the neural level (there’s little of impact there ), but at the cognitive level.

Situated Cognition In eLearning: What eLearning Professionals Should Know
TalentLMS
DECEMBER 7, 2015
In this article, I’ll shed light on the situated cognition theory, from its core principles to tips that will help you use it in your next eLearning course. Situated cognition is based on the idea that learning is most effective when it is in context. The Situation Cognition Theory was first introduced by Brown, Collins, and Duguid in 1989, who suggest that learners should be immersed in eLearning activities and content that mimics real world situations.

Organizational Cognition
Clark Quinn
SEPTEMBER 13, 2012
A recent post on organizational cognitive load got me thinking (I like this quote: “major learning and performance initiatives will likely fail to achieve the hoped-for outcomes if we don’t consider that there is a theoretical limit to collective throughput for learning”). Individual cognitive load we address through providing resources and tools.
