Piaget's adaptation - CORRECT ANSWERAccommodation / assimilation
Learners adapt their concepts to their environment via assimilation or accommodation in order to receive equilibrium & stay outta disequilibrium.
Adaptation - CORRECT ANSWERWe slowly adapt our concepts (the way we see the world) to fit the world we experience. The weakest concepts are discarded over time.
Schema
ex:
Importance? - CORRECT ANSWERPiaget's way of saying basic building blocks of intelligent behavior - way we organize knowledge (CONCEPT)

importance = shows us how to act
Assimilation
Accommodation
Equilibrium
Disequilibrium
Equilibration - CORRECT ANSWER- A new exp is largely consistent w/ an existing schema

cognitive capacity
cognitive load - CORRECT ANSWERthe ability to pay attention to and think about information, effects how much effort we use, limited.
The amount of a person's cognitive resources needed to carry out a particular cognitive task.
memory strategies - CORRECT ANSWERrehearsal,
organization,
chunking,
elaboration
rehearsal - CORRECT ANSWERinfo is repeated over & over quickly as possible way of learning & remembering it
organization - CORRECT ANSWERgrouping info according to familiar categories
chunking - CORRECT ANSWERwhen familiar categories are imposed. When we reduce # of chunks we need to remember, we can remember more info overall
elaboration - CORRECT ANSWERAdding additional ideas to build connections
Automaticity - CORRECT ANSWER- learning a skill so well it becomes automatic
- frees up cognitive resources so you can think about something else while performing a task
Ex: Making dinner
Offloading - CORRECT ANSWER- Getting the outside world to do the work for you
- reduces cognitive load/frees up cognitive resources by letting something else do the work
(ex. calculators, computers)
