This is because LXD, to me, encompasses three things, all based on cognitive science. So here I’d like to make the case why I think that there’s a cognitive basis of LXD. Each one of those three things, then, has a cognitive underpinning. The post The cognitive basis of LXD appeared first on Learnlets.

I’m deeply steeped in the cognitive sciences, owing to a Ph.D. in cognitive psych. Fortuitively, this was at the time my advisor was creating the cognitive science program (and more). Yet I also have a fair bit of empirical evidence that taking a cognitive perspective accomplishes things that are hard to do in other ways.

At worst, your performance and cognitive functions are impaired, resulting in memory, management, and task completion problems. In October, scientists discovered that 75% of patients who experienced brain fog had a lower quality of life at work than those who did not. At best, brain fog makes you slower and less efficient.

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. And even if they are, they are likely more comprehensible from a cognitive perspective than a neural.

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.

This is called "cognitive overload" and is quite common with online courses or any other form of learning. How then should L&D design online trainings to reduce the cognitive load for learners?

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.

Learner variability recognizes the uniqueness of each learner; not just in cognitive skills, but in social-emotional considerations, and student background factors. If you look at this scene with an understanding of learner variability, you’ll know that this is a design challenge, not a student problem. And design challenges can be solved.

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. And, to be clear, learning sciences are a subset of the cognitive sciences. Clarity matters.
