The provided text delves into several influential theories in psychology and education. Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development outlines stages of moral reasoning from pre-conventional to post-conventional levels.
Game reward systems can be modeled in non-game environments, including personal and business environments, to provide positive motivation for individuals to change their behavior
Examples: board games, puzzles

Experiential Learning Theory
David Allen Kolb, founding father
Cyclical process that capitalizes on the participants' experiences for acquisition of knowledge
provides a holistic model of the learning process and a multi-linear model of adult development

Pre-Conventional
Moral decision making & reasoning
Social Cognitive Theory
Founding father: Albert Bandura
learning occurs in a social context with a dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment, and behavior
Behavior, Personal factors, and Environmental factors all influence each other
Considered as a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive theories
direct correlation between a person's perceived self-efficacy
and behavioral change
Sociocultural Theory
Founding father: Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky
development depends on interaction with people and the tools that the culture provides to help form their own view of the world
active social interaction
Bioecological Model of Human Development
Urie Bronfenbrenner, founding father
Attributes the driving force of development to so-called proximal processes: stimulating, regular face-to-face interactions over extended periods with people, objects, or symbols, which promote the realization of the genetic potential for effective biological, psychological, and social development

Attentional processes
Information Processing Theory
Concerned with how people view their environment, how they put that information memory, and how they retrieve that information later on
addresses how people respond to the information they receive through their senses and
how they further process those information with steps of attention, forgetting, and retention.

Theory of Human Motivation
Abraham Harold Maslow
Hierarchy of needs
integrated wholeness of the organism must be one of the foundation stones of motivation theory
hierarchy of needs
Bloom's Taxanomy
Benjamin Samuel Bloom, founding father
Promotes higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning).

Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardner, founder
utilizes aspects of cognitive and developmental psychology, anthropology, and sociology to explain the human intellect
All human beings possess all nine intelligences in varying degrees
Each individual has a different intelligence profile
Education can be improved by assessment of students' intelligence profiles and designing activities accordingly
Each intelligence occupies a different area of the brain
The nine intelligences may operate in consort or independently from one another
These nine intelligences may define the human species.
There is no set method by which to incorporate the theory
comprehensive psychoanalytic theory that identifies a series of eight stages, in which a healthy developing individual should pass through from infancy to late adulthood
Constructivism
learning is a process of constructing meaning; make sense of their experience
a synthesis of multiple theories diffused into one form
assimilation of both behaviorialist and cognitive ideals
Formal learning environments
Social Interaction
Investigation
Learner-centric
Involvement
Commitment
Cognitivism
Computational and structured
Cognitive Development Stages
Adaptation of instruction
Content of instruction needs to be consistent with the developmental level of the learner
Sensorimotor Stage (birth to age 2) - gaining motor control and learning about physical objects
Preoperational Stage (ages 2 to 7) - verbal skills
Concrete Operational Stage (ages 7 to 11) - deals with abstract concepts such as numbers and relationships
Formal Operational Stage, (adolescence to adulthood) - begins to reason logically and systematically

Lev Vygotsky
Zone of Proximal Development
Elaboration
Organization
Focuses on the inner mental activities – opening the “black box" of the human mind is valuable and necessary for understanding how people learn
Behaviorism
Can be traced back to Aristotle,
Founding fathers: John B. Watson, B. F. Skinner, and Ivan Pavlov
observable & measurable aspects of human behaviour
specific stimuli elicit response
external factors over internal, e.g. mental

hypothesis behind behavioralist learning theories is that all learning occurs when behavior is influenced and changed by external factors
