How Humans Learn I

This course offers an in-depth journey into the mental processes that drive knowledge acquisition and understanding, examining how our minds encode, store, and retrieve information over time. Grounded firmly in cognitive science, the course emphasizes not only the theoretical underpinnings of human thought—such as memory structures, representation systems, and developmental trajectories—but also the practical ways in which these insights inform the creation of instructional media.
