Studies on Information Processing Rates in Science Learning and Related Cognitive Variables. I: Some Theoretical Issues Related to Motivation.

Anderson, O. Roger

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v23 n1 p61-66 Jan 1986

A neuromathematical model of information processing applied to science learning is expanded to include two coefficients representing the motivational state of the learner. The inclusion of these coefficients (which are described) permits modeling of the effects of variations in motivation on the rate and amount of information in learning tasks. (Author/JN)
