Concepts and Prototypes

370
The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Natural and Artificial Concepts

425
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

461
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Understanding Self-Concept01:20

Understanding Self-Concept

114
The self-concept encompasses individuals' beliefs about themselves, structured through cognitive frameworks known as self-schemas. These schemas function as mental representations of specific traits or behaviors, influencing how self-relevant information is perceived, processed, and remembered. For example, individuals who are schematic for body weight are more likely to interpret routine experiences—such as dining out or shopping—through the lens of that trait. Conversely, those...

Schemata01:17

Schemata

226
A schema is a mental construct that organizes related concepts, allowing the brain to process information efficiently. Upon activation, schemata facilitate assumptions about people or objects.
Two types of schemata are:

Schemas

12.2K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Pharmacy Education

Background:

  • Concept maps visually represent knowledge and are used in pharmacy curricula to assess student understanding.
  • Manual grading of concept maps is time-consuming and requires subject matter expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a software program for automated feedback on student-generated concept maps.
  • To assess the program's ability to evaluate concept map complexity, content, and organization.

Main Methods:

  • Student concept maps for four disease states were compared to expert-created maps.
  • A software program was developed to analyze student maps.
  • Program analysis was compared against manual assessment by human graders.

Main Results:

  • The software program's analysis favorably matched manual assessments for concept map complexity and content.
  • Correlation was not found between the software's assessment and manual grading for concept map organization.
  • The study highlights the potential for efficient, automated concept map analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Automated concept map analysis software can efficiently assess key aspects of student understanding in pharmacy education.
  • Further refinement is needed to accurately evaluate the organizational structure of concept maps.
  • This technology offers a valuable tool for enhancing feedback and reducing grading burdens in pharmacy programs.
