The nature and methods of learning by doing
This presentation reviews some of the psychological research on learning by doing and discusses the role that learning-by-doing approaches can play in education and training. It includes a discussion of the author's implementations of this approach and the lessons learned from these implementations. Improved forms of learning by doing now can be supported by information technologies, and there are prospects for extensions to group learning by doi…
Computer resources for learning
America's most significant invention, the computer, is a powerful tool that can help improve both teaching and learning. Computer tools, along with the contributions of cognitive instructional psychology, can help bring about some of the improvements needed in our schools. This paper describes some of the ways in which computers can be important learning resources. It reviews the special contributions that computers can make to education today an…

Interactive processes in reading comprehension∗
Comprehension during reading involves higher‐order processing of discourse structure and the reader's knowledge in interaction with lower‐level word coding processes. The interactions between these “top‐down” and “bottom‐up” processes must be taken into account in models of comprehension. The suggestion made in this paper is that word codingand sentence comprehension processes must execute fast enough to sustain active text memories. It is argued…
