This is an advanced organizer of the Mind-Working Paradigm, I created a full concept map of Cognitive Theories I learned in the Foundation of Cognitive Science class last semester. I chose to develop a concept map because it is a useful visual guide for learners to keep track of and give expectations to the materials they will learn about a topic.

I made this using LucidChart, feel free to check the original lucid document for the completed and interactive version. Lucid chart is a useful and easy-to-use tool for creating charts, graphs, and other visual designs.

After examining this advanced organizer, learners will be able to:

1. Identify the example of schema theory in their learning experience.

2. Analyze the difference in schema alteration.

3. Distinguish the types of knowledge and their significance in schema theory.

4. Explain the implication of schema theory in learning design.

5. Connect previously learned concepts with new concepts they will learn.

This artifact is designed by following these theories and principles:

1. Schema Theory: the advanced organizer is a visual tool to present information based on schema theories to help learners connect existing concepts with new concepts they will learn.

2. Cognitive Load Theory: the artifact is presented with a simple design to avoid burdening learners' cognitive load.

3. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Coherence Principle: the artifact uses a simple design and text that is relevant to the message.

4. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Signaling Principle: the artifact uses color signaling, the dark brown color is used for the main concept and the brighter contrast represents the sub-concepts.

5. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Spatial Contiguity Principle: the artifact puts the node-link close to their respective concepts and connections.

6. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning - Segmenting Principle: the artifact makes use of interactivity to segment or chunk the concept map.
