Someone who is gaining knowledge
What is learner
100

People learn better when words are presented as speech rather than on screen text.
What is Modality Effect
200
describes the different types of memory, and how both are interrelated, because schemas held in long-term memory, acting as a “central executive”, directly affect the manner in which information is synthesized in working memory
What is John Sweller
200
When presenting a large set of to-be-learned information it is better to chunk the information into a smaller group
What is Chunking Information
200
is the final stage of the dual memory model proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin, in which data can be stored for long periods of time
What is long term memory
200
a teaching and learning style in which ideas, concepts, data, and other information are associated with images and techniques
What is visual learning
200
People learn better when you place print words near graphics.
What is Contiguity Effect
300
immutable
What is Intrinsic
300
Means ends analysis
What is Goal Free Items
300
the capacity for holding a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time
What is short term memory
300
a learning style in which a person learns through listening
What is auditory learning
300
Simultaneous presentations of similar content must be avoided.
What is Redundancy Effect
400
dedicated to the processing, construction and automation of schemas
What is Germane
400
operates on the principle of reducing differences between the goal state and problem givens. If problems are “goal free” ie “find what you can”, then a problem solver has little option but to focus on the information provided (the given data) and to use it where ever possible
What is Means ends analysis
400
the system responsible for the transient holding and processing of new and already-stored information, and is an important process for reasoning, comprehension, learning and memory updating
What is working memory
400
the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment
What is critical thinking
400
Peoples learning is hindered when extraneous sound, pictures, and words are used in teaching.
What is Coherance Effect
500
extraeous, intristic, germane
What is three types of cognitive load
500
People learn better when both words and graphics are included, as long as the graph is not self explanatory.
What is Multimedia effect
500
cognitive load refers to the total amount of mental effort being used in the working memory
What is memory load
500
kinesthetic
What is discovery learners
500
People learn better when both words and graphics are included.
