Cognitive Theory
Learning Theory
Reflective Thought Theory- learning is developed through the process of reflection
Information Processing Theory- brain processes, stores, and retreives information like a computer. Keystroke = Perceptions, RAM = Short Term Memory, Hard Drive = Long Term Memory
Constructivism Theory- building off of old experiences

Perceptions
Initially all learning comes from stimuli which is directed to the brain via our 5 senses. Meaning is then attributed to these sensations which is called perception.
Insight
-Perceptions that are grouped together into meaningful wholes
Ex. buffeting + low airspeed + loss of control = Stall
