A cognitive psychology which becomes increasingly specialized
requires a special effort in order to avoid a fragmentation into
several controversial issues that are independently discussed but
also inherently related. Rather than asking additional
differentiated questions which are then investigated by more
specialized experimental methods and designs, this book promotes
unified theories and a levels approach for their experimental
evaluation. Within this cognitive science approach and on the basis
of the most foundational assumptions of Kintsch's construction
integration theory, a computational theory of knowledge acquisition
is then developed and subsequently evaluated by psychological
experiments. For forty years, computer simulation techniques and
experimental psychology research have greatly matured the
understanding of human knowledge and its acquisition in different
learning environments. This volume critically assesses the
advantages and limitations of these approaches and then develops an
integrated research methodology. It goes on to provide significant
progress concerning the following questions: * What are the most
promising research methodologies for investigating human cognition?
* How can the experimental psychology research on text
comprehension, concept formation, and memory become more closely
related to one another when the very specialized research paradigms
and the highly specific scientific controversies promote their
separation and independent discussion? * How can a general
comprehension-based theory bridge the gap between simple
experimental settings and the real-life situations that occur in
education and work environments? This book demonstrates how
experimental psychology can proceed more successfully by
investigating those aspects that are shared among different areas
of research like text comprehension, categorization, and learning
by exploration. It also shows how unified theories can assist in
applying experimental psychology and cognitive science results to
areas such as intelligent tutoring systems, instructional design,
and the development of expert systems in complex real world
domains.
