How the brain processes information? This question is key to instructional designers. This week I am sharing a couple of resources to assist with this question.
Information Processing – by Michael Orey - Michael has successfully explained the cognitive processing theory of information processing. In simple terms what is going on in the head as somebody learns or behaves. He goes on to increase one understanding of the Sensory Registers (SR), Short-term Memory (STM) and Long-term Memory (LTM) and how to utilize the information to benefit instructional learning.
Educational Leadership Articles - Founded in 1943, ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is an educational leadership organization dedicated to advancing best practices and policies for the success of each learner. Our 150,000 members in more than 145 countries are professional educators from all levels and subject areas––superintendents, supervisors, principals, teachers, professors of education, and school board members. If you are looking for a one stop shop for professional articles and resources this is great.
Why do some seek knowledge daily and thrive on acquiring while others are content at being stagnant where they are. From the time we are in the womb learning begins at a rapid speed the minute our cells and neurons begin their jobs. Researchers have just touched the surface of how the brain process information it is up to us to stay current on the most up to date information and research to become better instructional designers.
