This visualization presents the themes from the Stanford Course "Topics in Cognition: Visualization" taught by Dan Schwartz.

1. Finke
Roger Shephard
refining design of learning environment
same skill repeated
power law of learning
Benefits
color
structural relationship
visual is more than the sum of its parts
memory
effortlessstructure
invariants
depth
Weaknesses
rate of change
ambiguity
expressing abstract concepts
single modality
perception biased twds action
smooth eye control
Pre-interpretation
Embodiment
Embodiment
limited by what we imagine
imagine in world for problem solving

People Learn to Percieve
Learn to see differences
structural variation
Seeing structure is most important
Learning through contrasting cases

vivid pictures
different perceptual systems
cognition in learning/memory
Paired-Associative Learning
PEG Words
Dual-Encoding
DROODLES
Dual-Encoding
people remember pictures longer than words
vivid images better
for association-make image
double edged sword
invent first
tell first
for knowledge transfer
no transfer
Perceptual Learning
Isolate Important Features
Eliminate Noise
Learning to see Invariant
Gamify activity
