We learned about theories in relation to cognition and learning. This week we continue our focus on several learning techniques and models in relation to cognitivism. You will have the opportunity to distinguish psychological theories of learning in this assessment. In doing so, you will be able to apply this knowledge and skills to life and the workplace. These life skills are reflected in your ability to interview for a job, communicate in the workplace, learn new information, and so on.
Imagine you are working in the training department at your company and are asked to present to your manager the different learning theories and which best fits their training plan. You will present how your chosen theory/model can be applied in the workplace through improving learning strategies, communication, or memory.
Select one of the articles to read from the University Library on the topics of “Theory of Mind,” “Connectionist Model, “Semantics Network,” and “Visual Imagery.” The article will provide the information for your presentation to your training department:
