Cognitive Neuroscientific Approaches to Enhancing Training
6 hours | 6 CEs
This on-demand professional training program on Cognitive Neuroscientific Approaches to Enhancing Training is presented by Itiel E. Dror, PhD, in partnership with Cognitive Consultants International-HQ.
This program focuses on specific ways in which training can be enhanced through technology aligned with cognitive neuroscience.
This program begins with providing foundational knowledge regarding the general principles and mechanisms of human cognition, including how the brain processes information, how information processing is at the core of training and learning, and specific issues related to information processing such as knowledge representation, encoding, and retrieval of information, knowledge utilization, depth of processing and allocation of resources.
Next, the architectural constraints in cognition are described, including limits in information processing load, malfunctions, and the lack of control. Finally, a discussion of domain applications will connect the foundational knowledge and architectural constraints to various cognitive domains relevant to training and learning, including problem-solving, memory, skill acquisition, cognitive flexibility, visual cognition, and expertise.
