EDUC 70 - FINALS Flashcards
It was an initial cognitive response to
behaviorism
GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY
It emphasized the importance of sensory wholes
and the dynamic nature of visual perception
GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY
The term gestalt means “form” or
“configuration”

Elements closer together
are perceived as coherent
object
LAW OF
PROXIMITY
Objects near each other
tend to be grouped
together
LAW OF
PROXIMITY
Elements that look
similar will be perceived
as part of the same form
LAW OF
SIMILARITY
Elements similar to one
another tend to be
grouped together.
LAW OF
SIMILARITY
We tend to fill the gaps or
“close” the figures we
perceive.
LAW OF CLOSURE
We enclosed a space by
completing a contour and
ignoring gaps in the
figure
LAW OF CLOSURE
Objects grouped together
are seen as a whole
LAW OF CLOSURE
We tend to continue
contours when elements of
a figure establish an
implied direction
LAW OF GOOD
CONTINUATION
we draw a good continuous
line.
LAW OF GOOD
CONTINUATION
Sometimes referred to as
the “law of good figure” or
the “law of simplicity”.
LAW OF GOOD
PRÄGNANZ
When we are presented
with a set of ambiguous or
complex objects, our brain
will make them appear as
simple as possible.
LAW OF GOOD
PRÄGNANZ
We tend to pay attention
and perceive things in the
foreground first.
LAW OF
FIGURE/GROUND
Perceptual grouping
which is vital necessity for
recognizing objects
through vision
LAW OF
FIGURE/GROUND
Describe how the learner receives information from the environment through the senses and what takes place in between whether the information will continue to pass through the sensory register, then the short term memory and the long term memory.
Information Processing Theory
TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE
General v. Specific
Declarative
Procedural
Episodic
Conditional
This involves whether the knowledge is useful in many tasks, or only in one.
General vs. Specific
This refers to factual knowledge. They relate to the nature of how things are. They may be in the form of a word or an image.
Declarative
This includes knowledge on how to do things
Procedural
This includes memories of life events
Episodic
This is about knowing when and why to apply declarative or procedural strategies
Conditional
Stages in Information Technology
Encoding
Storage
Retrieval
Information is sensed, perceived, and attended to
Encoding
The information is stored for either a brief or extended period of time, depending upon the process following enconding
Storage
The information is brought back at the appropriate time and reactivated for use on a current task, the measure of effective memory
Retrieval
The first step in the IP model holds all sensory information for a very first brief time.
Sensory Register
The sensory register only holds the information for an extremely brief period - in the order of ________
1 - 3 seconds
To bring information into consciousness, it is necessary that we give attention to it. Such that, we can only perceive and remember later those things that pass through our attention gate.
The Role of Attention
It can only hold 5 to 9 chunks of information. It is called working memory because it is where new information is temporarily stored while it is mentally processed.
Short-Term Memory
Short-Term Memory can hold information in a span of _____
around 18 seconds or less
It is the final or permanent storing house for memory information
Long-Term Memory
Duration in Long-Term Memory
Indefinite
This involves the executive processor or what is referred to as metacognitive skills.
Executive Control Processes
It is the inability to retrieve or access information when needed
Forgetting
Two main ways of Forgetting
Decay
Interference
Information is not attended to, and eventually fades away
Decay
New or old information blocks access to the information in question
Interference
Methods for Increasing Retrieval of Information
Rehearsal
Meaningful Learning
Organization
Elaboration
Visual Imagery
Generation
Context
Personalization
This is repeating information verbatim, either mentally or aloud
Rehearsal
This is making connections between new information and prior knowlege
Meaningful Learning
It is making connections among various pieces of information. Info that is organized efficiently should be recalled
Organization
This is adding additional ideas to new information based on what one already knows. It is connecting new info with old to gain meaning
Elaboration
This means forming a picture of the information
Visual Imagery
Things we produce are easier to remember than things we hear
Generation
Remembering the situation helps recover information
Context
It is making the information relevant to the individual
Personalization
You will remember the beginning and end of a list more readily
Serial Position Effect
Break up the list or chunk information to increase memorization
Part Learning
Break up learning sessions, rather than cramming all the info in at once
Distributed Practice
These are memory techniques that learners may employ to help them retain and retrieve information more effectively.
Mnemonic Aids
Gagne’s category of learning
Verbal Information
Intellectual Skills
Cognitive Strategies
Attitudes
Motor Skills
Stating previously learned materials such as facts, concepts, principles and procedures
Verbal Information
Discriminations, Concrete Concepts, Defined Concepts, Rules, High Order Rules
Intellectual Skills
Employing personal ways to guide learning, thinking, acting, and feeling
Cognitive Strategies
Choosing personal actions based on internal states of understanding and feeling
Attitudes
Executing performances involving the use of muscles
Motor Skills
Catch the attention of the learners
Gaining attention ( Reception
Inform students what they’re going to learn
Informing learners of the objective ( Expectancy )
Help students make sense of new information by
recalling what they already know
Stimulating recall of prior learning ( Retrieval )
Use different teaching strategies and techniques to present
the lesson
Presenting the stimulus ( Selective Perception )
Help students learn how to learn.
Providing learning guidance ( Semantic Coding )
Make students apply what they have learn
Eliciting performances ( Responding )
Provide timely feedback of students’
performance to assess and facilitate learning
Providing feedback ( Reinforcement )
Assess if the expected learning outcomes has
been achieved on previously stated course of
objective
Assessing performance ( Retrieval )
Retain more information by providing opportunities to
connect course concepts to potential worlds application
Enhancing retention and transfer ( Generalization )
His most significant contribution
was the development and
research on “advance
organizers,” as a tool for learning.
David Paul Ausubel
Knowledge is hierarchically organized; new
information is meaningful to the extent that
it can be related to what is already known.
Ausubel’s theory
It is about how individuals learn large
amounts of meaningful material from
verbal/textual presentations.
Ausubel’s theory
Most Important Factors
Influencing Learning
QUANTITY
CLARITY
ORGANIZATION
