Agenda  Visit by Rand J. Spiro  Break  Fun fun fun…

Dr. Cognitive Flexibility  Rand J. Spiro Knowledge acquisition in complex domains, hypermedia learning environments, multimedia case-based methods in professional education, biomedical cognition, and constructive processes in text comprehension and recall. The BIG question: How should learning proceed so that tendencies toward conceptual oversimplification are counteracted and a wide range of future applications of knowledge are supported? A central part of the research program involves the development and testing of theory-based hypermedia learning environments designed to promote cognitive flexibility.
