Cognitive Science

When we say the word “learning”, we usually mean “to think using the brain”. This basic concept of learning is the main viewpoint in the Cognitive Learning Theory (CLT). The theory has been used to explain mental processes as they are influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which eventually bring about learning in an individual.
Cognitive Learning Theory implies that the different processes concerning learning can be explained by analyzing the mental processes first. It posits that with effective cognitive processes, learning is easier and new information can be stored in the memory for a long time. On the other hand, ineffective cognitive processes result to learning difficulties that can be seen anytime during the lifetime of an individual.

Cognitive science is the study of memory and the process of the brain.

Often people tend to study in an environment that has no distraction such as at your desk in your room... however science has proven that variation is good for remember certain things.
A study was conducted which took 2 groups in a similar environment and they were given the chance to study a memory test, whilst the other group studied at a different environment which they had not done before. The study showed how the group in a different environment had a remembered 24 words of the test whilst the other group only remembered 16.

Self practice is also vital as you should test yourselves consistently when reading over texts or trying to remember something.

When remembering certain things, the brains seems to get overwhelmed as we try to cram everything at once. However science shows that we should take breaks which can help the process of remembering. So instead of studying math for 2 hours in one day, study for 1 hour then another hour the next day.
