From the standpoint of conflict-monitoring theory (Botvinick et al., 2001), detecting an incident of information-processing conflict should attenuate the disruptive influence of information-processing conflicts encountered subsequently, by which time cognitive-control operations will have been engaged. To examine the generality of this conflict-adaptation process across task dimensions, the pre...

Past research on electronic communication media suggests that those media pose obstacles to communication in collaborative tasks when compared with the face-to-face medium. Yet, past research also points at mixed findings in connection with the quality of the outcomes of collaborative tasks, generally suggesting that the use of electronic communication media has no negative effect on those outc...

Instructional design in complex subjects requires the application of a sophisticated theory of cognition. Instructional techniques and strategies that work at the knowledge and comprehension stages of cognitive development may actually inhibit learning at more advanced levels. Evaluation and synthesis require a different cognitive paradigm. The theory of cognitive flexibility is a case-based ap...

Prominent theories of preschoolers' theory of mind development have included a central role for changing or adapting existing conceptual structures in response to experiences. Because of the relatively protracted timetable of theory of mind development, it has been difficult to test this assumption about the role of adaptation directly. To gain evidence that cognitive adaptation is particularly...

Conflict-monitoring theory argues for a general cognitive mechanism that monitors for conflicts in information-processing. If that mechanism detects conflict, it engages cognitive control to resolve it. A slow-down in response to incongruent trials (conflict effect), and a modulation of the conflict effect by the congruence of the preceding trial (Gratton or context effect) have been taken as i...

the present study aims to investigate language learners’ cognitive processes in on-line esp courses. three modes of inquiry are used: think-aloud protocol analysis, screen capture analysis, and correlation analysis. the theoretical foundations for the evaluation of the cognitive aspect of ferdowsi univeristy of mashhad e-learning system are drawn from cognitive load theory, cognitive apprentice...

The goal of Automated adaptation with user input (1, 2, 3, 4, learner variables (cognitive and noncognitive) and modeling approaches (quantitative and qualitative). 2 Instructional media history, 3 Cognitive load theory, 4 Robert Gagné began to adopt an information-processing-based approach to the design of instruction.

Institutional theory has proven to be a central analytical perspective for investigating the role of larger social and historical structures of Information System (IS) adaptation. However, it does not explicitly account for how organizational actors make sense of and enact IS in their local context. We address this limitation by showing how sensemaking theory can be combined with institutional ...
