Cognitive learning is a change in knowledge attributable to experience (1). It differs from behavioral learning in that cognitive learning involves a change in the learner’s knowledge whereas behavioral learning involves a change in the learner’s behavior.
Cognitive learning theories help us to understand how children learn. Cognitive learning theories explain how factors, internal and external, influence individual mental processes that supplement learning. Several theorists have written theories that focus on this topic. As educators, it is important to understand the various attributes of the theories and how they may illuminate the ways in which students learn. Research the following cognitive learning theorists and their theories.
Jean Piaget and cognitive learning theory.
Lev Vygotsky and sociocultural theory.
Information processing theory (Note: This theory has no specific theorists attached to it).
In addition, research these types of cognitive learning:
Classical conditioning.
Operant conditioning.
Observational conditioning.
Identify three sources to support your writing. Once you have completed the research, follow the instructions below to complete the assignment. Discuss Piaget and Vygotsky’s theories as well as information processing theory.
1. Include the key points of the theories.

1. Identify the similarities between the three types of cognitive learning.
2. Identify the differences between the three types of cognitive learning.
Select one theory and one type of cognitive learning and explain how you could implement them as an educator.
Use three sources to support your writing, outside of your textbook. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
