Experiential Learning
Emphasizes learning through experience and reflection, advocating for an education system that offers practical, hands-on experiences alongside abstract learning.
Situated Cognition
Highlights the context-dependent nature of knowledge and cognition, leading to educational models that favor real-world problem solving over abstract drills.
Cognitive Ethology
Focuses on the evolutionary and ecological aspects of cognition, encouraging ethically responsible research which respects animal intelligence and welfare.
Extended Mind Thesis
Promotes the idea that cognitive processes extend beyond the brain, involving external tools and environments, pushing for the integration of external devices as part of our cognitive systems.
Embodied Cognition
Understands cognition as deeply dependent on the physical body and its interactions with the environment, suggesting new approaches to AI and human-computer interaction.
Ecological Rationality
Examines how thinking is adapted to the structure of the environment, supporting designs of decision-making tools that align with natural cognitive processes.
Dynamic Systems Theory
Views cognitive processes as emergent from dynamic interactions, leading to the design of artificial intelligence that can better adapt to changing environments.
Dual Process Theories
Differentiates between fast, intuitive thinking and slow, deliberate reasoning, underscoring the importance of teaching critical thinking skills to counteract cognitive biases.
Theory of Mind
Entails understanding that others have beliefs and desires separate from one's own, leading to empathy training programs and more effective social communication interfaces.
Enactivism
Highlights the active role of the organism in shaping its cognition, implying that learning environments should be designed to foster exploration and interaction.
Affordance Theory
Concerned with the actionable properties of the environment, directing us to design tools and environments that naturally guide users toward intended actions.
Distributed Cognition
Underlines how cognitive processes are distributed across groups and artifacts, leading to collaborative tools and methodologies that enhance collective intelligence.
Naturalized Epistemology
Seeks to understand knowledge through empirical investigation, stressing the importance of evidence-based practices in all fields of inquiry, especially in educational and policy-making contexts.
Analogical Reasoning
The process of transferring information from a particular subject (the analogy) to another particular subject, can be harnessed to enhance learning and creativity by drawing parallels between disparate domains.
Neuropragmatism
Bridges neuroscience with pragmatism, endorsing interdisciplinary studies for more effective mental health treatments and educational strategies.
