On your own, do research into cognitive learning theories. Find a learning theory and theorist to use for this discussion.
This discussion has three parts:
- Establish the theory you found as belonging in the cognitivist realm. What are some of the major theoretical assumptions of this cognitive or information-processing theory that sets it apart from other theories of learning? What does this theory explain well about learning, and what does it not explain well?
- Review the presentation Learning Theories: Case Studies. Choose one case study to use for this discussion. Using the theory you found, identify and describe a possible behavior that the individual could have previously learned. What kind of intervention would work for this person if we are using this theoretical framework?
- Share ways in which you have seen this theory in action in your own life.
I uploaded the CASE STUDY to the files.
