Write an overview of the impact of cognition on learning, and discuss how it has changed behaviorism. In your response, discuss the concepts of cognitive map, latent learning, insight, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation, and give a personal example of each concept.

Throughout the clarification section below where the definition of the concern is mentioned.

Explanation:

Cognitive skills help students to build upon previous knowledge and ideas- with a deeper understanding of topics and stronger learning skills, students have the ability to approach schoolwork with enthusiasm and a little confidence. Cognition itself has effected behaviorism by altering the original conceptions of the human mind and creating a significant influence on classroom instruction and psychopathology. This has lead to the rise in cognitive science, and the eventual demise of the dominance of behaviorism. A cognitive map is a mental representation of the layout of someone's environment, for example, if a rat/multiple rats have explored a maze enough, they may act as though they have a cognitive map of it. An example of a cognitive map from my own life would be describing landmarks, roads, amount of turns, etc. to my friend who asked directions to come over to my house. Latent learning is a type of learning that does not happen at the exact time of learning, but instead appears later when suitable motivation and circumstances come into play. A personal example of latent learning would be learning how to do a math problem in class, but not immediately being able to do it without the incentive of getting a good grade on an upcoming test. Insight is when an answer to a problem becomes apparent quickly and abruptly- an example from my personal life would be keeping my dogs in a fenced-off area to keep them from running away. Intrinsic motivation is the act of completing an action without any obvious external rewards, like when I was younger, I used to read books so much and so often, just because I loved reading and wanted to do it. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is doing/completing an activity for the purpose of a reward. For example, as a young child in the classroom, the promise of a "pizza-party" or "treat-day" drove me (and my classmates, of course) to do well and win the treats.
