Purpose

The Cognition and Student Learning (Cognition) topic supports research that applies recent advances in cognitive science to education practice. The long-term outcome of this research will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., instructional approaches, computer tutors) that are based on principles of learning and information processing gained from cognitive science and that have been documented to be efficacious for improving learning in education delivery settings from prekindergarten through high school and for vocational or adult basic education or developmental (remedial)/bridge programs for under-prepared college students.
