Description
Learning can be perceived as the storage of information in Long-term memory:
- Information is first assimilated through our senses, visual, auditory etc. as perception(Multi store model of information processing)
- Knowledge (factual & procedural) stored in long-term memory
Tactile perception, i.e, information through touch, should play or plays a huge role in learning (embodied cognition)
We use ‘attention’ to filter out irrelevant stimuli to improve learning. Given this, amplification of a stimuli should support the attention process leading to improved learning. Dual-coding theory assumes that auditory and visual information is processed in separated channels which lowers the demand on working memory. Similarly, tactile perceptions should also be processed separately in the working memory.
In this project we aim:
- To investigate how sensory modalities influence the retrieval of motor skills for handwriting skill development
- To learn how to design and carry out small-scale research, including:
- Designing studies to explore your hypothesis
- Developing tools, for example using sensors, for collecting handwriting data
- Conducting data analysis and reporting your findings
