Learning from Others in an Educational Context: Findings from Cognitive Psychology
Wright, Daniel B.
Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, v15 n1 p146-157 2016
Students are often placed in groups to facilitate learning. Understanding the cognitive processes involved when students learn from others is important for creating group situations that facilitate learning. Research from cognitive psychology predicts who will learn most from whom and in what situations. It also provides a set of methods that education researchers can use to further explore "Learning from Others." However, because the goals of cognitive psychologists and educators often differ, it is important to apply cognitive psychology research cautiously within an educational context.
