The Classroom Lie Series: Learning Styles If you, like me, attended a traditional education school prior to starting your career in education, you probably spent at least a little time learning about the concept of learning styles. You might recognize the terms visual, auditory, linguistic, or kinesthetic. You may also have been asked to design lessons with different learning styles embedded. If you were like me, you may have even had a poster of the different learning styles in your classroom.

Nearly 90% of teachers believe in learning styles. The research says otherwise. Time to close the gap. 🧠 #ScienceOfReading #EdResearch #CognitiveScience #CogSci #TeacherPD #TheClassroomLie

Retrieval Practice: Boosting Memory and Student Success In past posts, I've shared a bit about the Cognitive Science Microcredential I earned through the Center for Excellence in Leadership and Learning. Cognitive science is all about understanding how our minds work. The main point of the microcredential is to know how people learn best and then apply that understanding to support the work we do in the classroom. Today, I want to focus on the concept of Retrieval Practice.

Students think rereading helps them learn. Research says the opposite. 🔬 The testing effect is one of the most powerful tools we're underusing. New post 👇 #CogSci #EdLeadership #ScienceOfLearning #FESTigers

We treat language as a neutral tool for describing reality, but what if it's actually creating it? | https://bit.ly/4uxxAjd

Neuroscientist Jeremy Skipper argues that language itself is an altered state of consciousness, and only by losing it can we see the world as it really is.

A 3D cartoon alien with a round pink face looks forward. It has large green eyes, a small pink nose, bright blue lips, and short orange eyebrow shapes above its eyes. Blue ear-like shapes stick out on both sides of its head. Two thin antennae rise from the top of its head and bend outward, each ending in shiny, speckled spheres. The background is plain light gray.

"In terms of individual differences, there is a positive main effect of logical reasoning (𝛽 ̂ = 0.22, 95% CrI = [0.06, 0.38]) and ToM (𝛽 ̂ = 0.26, 95% CrI = [0.10, 0.42]), meaning that participants with higher logical reasoning and ToM selected the target more often. There is no main effect of memory (𝛽 ̂ = 0.06, 95% CrI = [-0.10, 0.22]).

There is also a positive interaction of logical reasoning with condition, whereby the effect of logical reasoning is stronger in the simple condition (𝛽 ̂ = 0.45, 95% CrI = [0.13, 0.78]), but no interaction of memory or ToM with condition."

What helps people understand conversational cues?

Correctly identifying implications correlated not just with "theory of mind", but also reflective and logical reasoning. Short-term memory? Not so much.

"As shown in Figure 13, there is no significant difference across treatments for both the learning during intervention (𝐹 (3, 398) = 1.046, 𝑝 = 0.372) and learning after intervention (𝐹 (3, 398) = 1.193, 𝑝 = 0.312)."

"Figure 13: Comparisons on participants’ learning (a) while receiving the AI assistance intervention (b) after receiving the AI assistance intervention. Values for the Human-only treatment are computed based on the normalized change of decision accuracy between corresponding sessions of tasks (learning during intervention: tasks 6–15 vs. tasks 1–5, learning after intervention: tasks 16–20 vs. tasks 1–5); they provide a baseline for organic learning happened due to repetitive task completion without AI assistance interventions. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals of the mean values."

Do people learn more from #AI decision assistants?

This experiment found insignificant improvement in learning during and after three forms of AI-assisted decision-making, compared to human-only decision-making.
