Pakdaman-Savoji, Azar; Nesbit, John Cale; Gajdamaschko, Natalia – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
The term "cognitive tool" has been used in many areas of academic specialisation, where it has taken on multiple connotations. In this historical and systematic review, we investigate the conceptualisation of cognitive tools in the learning sciences and educational technology. First, the theory of cognitive tools vis-à-vis learning and…

Wang, Su-hua; Onishi, Kristine H. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
Infants' representations of physical events are surprisingly flexible. Brief exposure to one event can immediately enhance infants' representations of another event. The present experiments tested two potential mechanisms underlying this priming: enhanced encoding or improved retrieval. Five-month-olds saw a target block become hidden inside a…

Samuelson, Larissa K.; Schutte, Anne R.; Horst, Jessica S. – Cognition, 2009
This paper examines the tie between knowledge and behavior in a noun generalization context. An experiment directly comparing noun generalizations of children at the same point in development in forced-choice and yes/no tasks reveals task-specific differences in the way children's knowledge of nominal categories is brought to bear in a moment. To…

Lopez-Manjon, Asuncion; Angon, Yolanda Postigo – Journal of Biological Education, 2009
There is no agreement about the robustness of intuitive representations of the circulatory system and their susceptibility to change by instruction. In this paper, we analyse to what extent students with varying degrees of biology instruction and different ages (High School Health Science and Social Science students and first and final year…

Principe, Gabrielle F.; Tinguely, Alison; Dobkowski, Nicholas – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
This study examined age differences in children's vulnerability to be misled by two types of false overheard rumors, namely a rumor that suggested a reasonable explanation for an earlier unresolved experience and a rumor that suggested an explanation that conflicted with information already in memory. Results indicated that all of the children…

Beech, Nic; MacIntosh, Robert; MacLean, Donald; Shepherd, Jill; Stokes, John – Management Learning, 2002
Explores some of the constraints on knowledge development through a multi-perspective examination of a project in which there was an intention and enacted process to develop knowledge. Engaged with the generic question of what the conditions that facilitate knowledge creation in organizations are, considers data from three theoretical…

Demetriou, Andreas – Learning and Instruction, 1998
Outlines a general model about the dynamic organization and development of the mind and draws the implications of this model for learning and instruction by presenting 10 postulates about the organization of the mind and 1 general postulate about the dynamic relations between systems of the mind and the mind and education. (SLD)

Salomon, Gavriel – 1994
An empirically-based theory is proposed that relates media's most essential modes of presentation--their symbol systems--to modes of cognitive representation and to the acquisition of knowledge. This book draws upon scholarship in such areas as the study of symbol systems, cognition, cognitive development, psycholinguistics, and mass…

Riggs, K. J.; Robinson, E. J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Three- and four-year olds were asked to recall their own or another person's actions and to acknowledge the false belief upon which the action was based. They showed excellent recall of inappropriate actions based on a false belief, but failed to use the recalled action as a clue to acknowledge the false belief upon which it was based. (TJQ)

Venkatesh, Vivek; Shaw, Steven; Dicks, Dennis; Lowerison, Gretchen; Zhang, Dai; Sanjakdar, Roukana – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2007
This article provides an empirical evaluation of an indexing technology, topic maps (ISO 13250), in the context of an academic task in a higher education context. Topic maps are a form of indexing that define and display the interrelationships between various topics in a given domain, as well as anchor these topics to specific resources that help…

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)

Needham, Amy; Baillargeon, Renee – Cognition, 2000
Summarizes findings on infants' capacity for object segregation. Maintains that infants can use featural and experiential information for segregation and individuation purposes long before 12 months of age. Disputes the claim that formation of object categories awaits early word learning, but acknowledges that language may play a key role in…

Ahonen, Sirkka – 1990
This study reports on the historical conceptualization among Finnish 12-13 year-olds who were given a projective task to yield historical thinking. The case study examines expressions the subjects used and which were studied qualitatively, using "chunks of meaning" as units of analysis, in regard to both their meaning- content and their…

Kommers, P. A. M. – 1995
Hypermedia as a learning environment complements traditional instruction as it places the student at a higher level of control. Instead of "wait and see" what the teacher expects the student to learn next, hypermedia stimulates the student to become aware of his/her own cognitive needs and interests. This paper presents a combination of notions…

Nelissen, Jo M. C.; Tomic, Welko – 1996
A cognitive or internal representation refers to an organized system of information which reflects certain, but not all, of the information about reality being represented. This paper considers various opinions, controversies, and debates about what representation is, how it comes about, and what forms of representation can be distinguished. The…
