A cognitive learning model in classroom interaction

This paper, based on the cognitive architecture of learning and thinking, proposes a cognitive learning model in classroom interaction, which bridges the gap between classroom interaction and learning outcome. In this model, a learning activity is defined as a cognitive matrix at a low level in which M rows and N columns are set, each row represents a logical cognitive step of learning procedure, and each column contains all the contents processed by a corresponding component in cognitive architecture. At the meantime, the learning outcome can be produced from contents of column LTDM, AO and AADM of cognitive architecture. A memory consolidation model is also proposed and simulated with PDP tool. Experiment of teaching concept knowledge indicates the effectiveness of the proposed models.
