Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

240
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development from Childhood into Adulthood

109
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development emphasizes the role of thinking in a child's learning process, suggesting that children are naturally curious about their environment. His approach to development is discontinuous, proposing that cognitive abilities progress through distinct stages, each with unique characteristics. Central to Piaget's theory is schemata—mental structures that allow individuals to understand and interpret the world.

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context

73
Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

Cognitivism

1.4K
Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

59.4K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Grounded Theory Methodology
  • Nursing Research

Background:

  • Coding gerunds is valuable for theory development in grounded theory.
  • Novice researchers may find identifying and coding gerunds challenging due to their abstract nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide guidance on identifying, analyzing, and coding gerunds.
  • To illustrate the application of gerund coding in a constructivist grounded theory study on operating room design.

Main Methods:

  • Gerund identification and coding techniques.
  • Application within a qualitative study using constructivist grounded theory.

Main Results:

  • Gerund coding effectively illustrated participant actions and sequences.
  • This coding approach deepened the researcher's understanding of specific topics.

Conclusions:

  • Incorporating gerund coding can significantly enhance insights in grounded theory studies.
  • Nurse researchers are encouraged to focus on actions to enrich qualitative data analysis.
