Brown, Timothy T. – Journal of Management Education, 2016
In this issue, Cavanaugh, Giapponi, and Golden (2016) have discussed the new prominent role of digital devices in the lives of students; the possible impact of these widely-used technologies on developing, learning minds; and the relevance of new cognitive neuroscience research and technologies for better understanding the potential effects of…

Frascara, Jorge – Visible Language, 1999
Looks at human information processing as a complex system, concentrating on certain insights about field interactions that will reposition the understanding of mental processes, moving it from an analysis of logical steps to the exploration of the influence that contexts have on human cognitive performance. (CR)

Lynch, Dudley – Training and Development Journal, 1986
The author presents evidence that supports the argument for the validity of right brain-left brain theories. Discusses the brain's "sense of the future," what the brain does with new information, and altering the brain's ability to process change. A bibliography of further readings is included. (CT)

Needham, Amy – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Discusses responses to Needham's research on infants' use of featural, physical and experiential information to segregate displays. Considers characterization of different kinds of information infants use when segregating objects. Discusses relations between processes underlying object segregation. Considers the roles of visual versus linguistic…

Vandendorpe, Mary M. – 1985
This paper discusses a model of information storage and retrieval, the k-d tree (Bentley, 1975), a binary, hierarchical tree with multiple associate terms, which has been explored in computer research, and it is suggested that this model could be useful for describing human cognition. Included are two models of human long-term memory--networks and…

McLaughlin, Barry – Language Testing, 1995
Discusses the question of aptitude from within an information-processing perspective, examines how aptitude is conceptualized in this framework, and discusses one possible component of L2 aptitude: working memory. (56 references) (Author/CK)

Mason, Emanuel J.; And Others – Instructional Science, 1983
These papers presented at a symposium describe how tenth grade students would be taught the slope of a line in geometry using three different approaches to teaching theory: behaviorism, Piagetian cognitive development, and information processing. Analyses of each approach focus on manner of learner cooperation and differing teacher role. (MBR)

Horton, Forest Woody, Jr. – International Forum on Information and Documentation, 1995
Explores some speculative hypotheses on states of knowing and learning, and how these states and processes might be applied to artificial intelligence and expert systems development. (JKP)

Wagner, Sigrid, Ed.; And Others – 1981
The papers contained in this document were originally presented at the May 1978 conference on Modeling Mathematical Cognitive Development sponsored by the Models of Learning Mathematics Working Group of the Georgia Center for the Study of Learning and Teaching Mathematics. Most have been revised to reflect comments and suggestions made at the…

Xu, Fei; Carey, Susan – Cognition, 2000
Responds to Needham and Baillargeon's criticisms and offers an alternative resolution of the conflicting results between the laboratories regarding abilities of infants less than 12 months to use property/featural information for object individuation. Maintains that kind concepts are acquired as infants approach their first birthday and that…

Orton, Robert E. – 1988
Examined is the notion of "representation" as it is used in mathematics education. The first section explains what appears to the current "received view" of representation within mathematics education. The second section describes the constructivist view of representation, especially as this view is related to Piaget's theory. The third section…

Glaser, Robert – American Psychologist, 1981
Examines methods by which test researchers and practitioners might respond to social and educational demands. Reports on the research which examines human cognition and development. Suggests that understanding how these abilities are acquired can facilitate their acquisition. Proposes a research agenda to redress social problems concerning testing…
