Learner support form a cognitive psychology perspective

Abstract

When learners fail to achieve results despite their efforts, various factors may contribute to this failure. This article will focus on cases of "not knowing how to learn" and "large variation in strengths and weaknesses" among learners. Regarding learning, we will introduce theories of "attention," "short-term memory," "encoding," and "long-term memory" based on the "multi store model of memory" form cognitive psychology. Regarding variations in strengths and weaknesses, we will focus on neurodevelopmental characteristics of developmental disabilities, such as "sensory bias," "difficulty in imagining, integrating information, and allocating attention," "weakness in working memory," and "impulsivity." This paper will explore the reasons for and countermeasures against difficulties in learning achievement from these and "metacognition" perspectives.
