I got my first degree as a musician (jazz guitar) and returned to school a couple of years ago as a psychology major. As of now I am a graduate student. I have a strong interest in methodology and statistics.
In my bachelor thesis I compared the Variability Effect from Cognitive Load Theory with the phenomenon of Interleaved Learning from a connectionist point of view. Currently I am trying to build on this work. I am working on a proposal of how hierarchically structured learning material can be analysed to make predictions about the order in which the underlying concepts might be distinguished from another.

Can an individual having strong identity associations with groups be used to infer anything about them? This is interesting. Can you give some insights into your experiments? |

Do we need a pre-test to compare the effectiveness of two treatments? I would emphasize that while random assignment is in theory sufficient (as Jeromy already noted), in reality it is very hard to obtain random samples. E.G. you can't randomly assign students to a class. And even if you did, from that point on they are all in the same class and measures are not independent anymore. Hierarchical models were developed with this application in mind, but they are suited for a variety of contexts. So maybe this might be an option. |

What constructs help explain limited cognitive processing and the cognitive effects of rules that limit decision making choices? Intrinsic load is defined as the the number of elements to be processed simultaneously, whereas extrinisic load is caused by the presentation of the elements. The additional rules simply add to the number of elements. Your wife could present the basic task on one sheet of paper and the additional rules on another one, thereby introducing extraneous loud. I do agree with you, that Cognitive Load Theory is probably not the best theory for a problem like this. The main focus of CLT is the aquisition and construction of schemata, and I wouldn't put your problem in that category. |
