Cognitivism
Cognitivism focuses on how the mind processes and uses information. Within cognitivism, tasks are analyzed and then broken down into smaller steps and/or chunks. Information is then taught from the most simple to the most complex based on the learner's prior knowledge. Cognitive learners use schema or mental maps to help organize information and tie the material to existing knowledge to aid memorization.
Cognitivism focuses on mental processes which includes how people perceive, think, remember, learn, solve problems. Psychologists working from a cognitivist perspective, then, seek to understand cognition. Lastly, cognitivism has influenced education, as studies of how people learn potentially sheds light on how to teach.
