Cognitive Processes and The Learner

This week I found a site that, based on Jung’s cognitive processes, provides a wealth of information on the various personality types defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Instrument. It provides information on Cognitive Processes and Problem Solving and Cognitive Processes and Learning. These variables are aspects of our target training audiences that we should consider when designing and developing learning events. The site states:  When we look at learning, we need to examine three factors: 1. What—the content or skill to be learned; 2. How—the learning context; and 3. Who—the learning style of the learner. When these items are congruent, effective learning occurs.

If you’d like to take the test to determine your personality type, there are free online sites. You can try Human Metrics or Similar Minds.
 
Additional online tests are available to determine your Cognitive Learning Style: Memletics Learning Styles Questionnaire,  Edutopia's What's Your Learning Style? or AES which offers a great tool for your students/younger folks.
 
Some additional sites I found interesting:

• For K-12 educators, you might find Dr. Kathie Nunley’s Brains.org site interesting. Dr. Nunley is committed to connecting “current psychological and neurological research to the classroom”.
• Cognitive Sciences Archive … An extensive electronic archive hosting papers in the areas of psychology, neuroscience, computer science, philosophy, biology, anthropology and medicine.
