Script
- Cognitive research is an educational method that is based on experience that requires cognitive analysis, synthesis, and/or evaluation of the subject of learning.
- Formative assessments are those assessments that are formatted to provide detailed feedback afterwards, possibly during debriefing or a lessons learned session. Learners may also be encouraged to either complete specified assessment activities or obtain specified scores on them.
- Substantive discussions are discussions on the matters that go beyond conventionally-formalized concepts, possibly followed by debriefing or a lessons learned session.
- The Socratic method is based on critical thinking. To utilize this method, the instructor asks challenging questions instead of providing the learners with straightforward answers.
- In one's real life, the overwhelming majority of cognitive research would include elicitation techniques. These techniques are based on gathering data from human beings. The most common elicitation techniques include interviews, brainstorming, focus groups, artifact testing, observation, and questionnaire survey.
