CIP, 2010

This post is in response to the chapter on Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) theories of learning. There were many directions this could have gone, but a lot of the forum discussions this year seem to be about memory with a focus on encoding and recall. That inspired the library theme. The references to radiation and General are a nod to the famous Glick and Holyoak transfer study. For some reason, they came to mind when I was trying to think about a topic to search for in memory. If you are wondering why… ask the librarian!

  • That is the world's skinniest librarian. I wonder if they use him to clean between books. You know, as a sort of intelligent pipe cleaner.

    Interesting how in this dtg, cognition is distributed between the two people and their resources. Even though the solution is in both people's reach, if we were to test the person on the right, he would fail to demonstrate learning transfer. And whose problem is that?
  • Well, I don't mind admitting that some of the skinniness stems from the fact that I originally drew a stick figure similar to my prior drawings, but had to flesh it out so that it was visible in front of the books!

    As for the rest... whoops! I actually meant for them to be a metaphor for different processes in the mind! Next time I'll have to draw some extra gray matter.
