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.

What is cognitive load theory (CLT)? Attributable to John Sweller who developed this theory after thoroughly studying problem solving, CLT provides guidelines for improving learning and retention by focusing on the memory capacity of human beings. This is what a schema does: it helps in shedding some of the cognitive load.

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”). There’s lots of thinking going on, in many ways.

Traditionally, in the education system, a lot of learning is black and white – either you respond to a problem with the correct answer, or you don’t and get the answer wrong. The problem with this style of learning is that it sometimes results in learners memorizing answers solely to complete a course.

Cognitive Learning Theory is a useful theory for looking at education in a modern way, which focuses not just on the student’s ability to repeat the information they have been taught, but instead asks why and how a student was able to learn, and what their innate mental processes and previous life experiences had to do with that learning.
