Cognitive Approach

The text discusses the cognitive development stages proposed by Jean Piaget, focusing on how children's ability to think and understand evolves over time. The first stage, known as the Sensorimotor stage, spans from birth to about two years old, where infants learn about the world through their senses and actions, recognizing that objects exist even when not seen.

Learning Ways

Global
Global learners prefer a holistic and systematic approach. They see the big picture first and then fill in the details.
Sequential
Sequential learners prefer to have information presented linearly and in an orderly manner. They put together the details in order to understand the big picture emerges.
Reflective
Reflective learners prefer to think things through, to evaluate options, and learn by analysis. They enjoy figuring out a problem on their own.
Active
Active learners prefer to manipulate objects, do physical experiments, and learn by trying. They enjoy working in groups to figure out problems.
Verbal
Verbal learners prefer to hear or read information. They look for explanations with words.
Visual
Visual learners prefer graphs, pictures, and diagrams. They look for visual representations of information.
Intuitive
Intuitive learners prefer conceptual, innovative, and theoretical information. They look for the meaning.
Sensory
Sensory learners prefer concrete, practical, and procedural information. They look for the facts.

Gestalt Psychology

In the Berlin School is a theory of mind and brain positing; the operational principle of Gestalt is that the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies

Invariance is the property of perception whereby simple geometrical objects are recognized independent of rotation, translation, and scale.

Multistability (or multistable perception) is the tendency of ambiguous perceptual experiences to pop back and forth unstably between two or more alternative interpretations.

Reification is the constructive or generative aspect of perception.

Emergence is the process of complex pattern formation from simpler rules.
