Learning, Memory and Perception (learning component)

Details of module assessment

The learning component will assess students' knowledge related to the theoretical and empirical aspect of the learning construct. Upon completion of the component the students will be required to write a laboratory report addressing a selected issue from learning research which must be submitted by 4pm on 28th November, 2003. 

The lecture in Week 4 includes research in the area of dimensional learning. People are exposed to multi-dimensional environment and had to be selective in activating one particular dimension necessary for the manifestation of adaptive behaviour in a particular situation. Some studies call it "attentional learning". The research on "feedback" will be discussed in Week 6. They will compare and contrast reinforcer, reward, punishment, feedback/knowledge of results (KR) during last few weeks. The students took part in an experiment investigating the effect of feedback on learning. During the following week they will receive briefing in the practical sessions.

The topic is as follows:

Topic for Learning practical report, 2003

"Investigate the effects of auditory and visual feedback on dimensional learning"

However the students will be encouraged to individualise the titles provided that it focuses on the assignment topic.

Knowledge of results or Feedback improves affects the development of skills and knowledge (Smidt and Shaprio, 1986). However it is still a matter of much debate whether feedback always improve performance. We still do not know which type of feedback is more effective in simple and multi-dimensional tasks. In this experiment two groups of students ...
