What is Cognitivism
1.
Cognitivism
is a learning theory according to which mental processes mediate learning and learning entails the construction or reshaping of mental schemata. Cognitivists believe that knowledge resides in complex memory structures in the human mind called schemata, and learning is the process of changing these structures. ID from a cognitivist perspective focuses on presenting learners with the appropriate information and feedback to shape their mental schemata.

Cognitivism
gained momentum in the late 1950s as a counter attack towards behaviorism, which relied upon overt or observable behavior as the determinant of human learning. The cognitivists emphasized the role of internal mental processes and how mind works during the process of learning.

11.
Looks at human beings like a black box where the input of information produces some output. It has a positivist and reductionist approach to the analysis of knowledge phenomena and is persuaded that psychological events can be fully explained by experiments, measurements and the application of the scientific method.

12.
A view of learning focusing on knowledge being formed by the acquisition or re-organization of symbolic mental constructions (schema). Learning is viewed as a three stage ‘information processing’ occurrence: input enters from the senses (sensory register), some of this input is transferred to short term memory (can be retained here longer through repeated rehearsal and chunking of material into meaningful parts) and then may be committed to Long-term memory.
