Instructional Design: Impact of Subject Matter and Cognitive Styles.

Abstract

This paper reviews current research in neuropsychology, cognitive style, and instructional design. It provides a framework for further research in the most effective mode of information presentation, considering the interaction of cognitive style and training subject matter. The neuropsychological research addresses the role of the left and right hemispheres of the brain in human information processing. Research in cognitive psychology builds on the knowledge of hemispheric processing through the study of cognitive styles. This knowledge is then combined with research in instructional design and the nature of subject matter. This review then serves as a basis for combining the critical aspects of cognitive style and subject-matter content into a proposed identification of concerns relevant to the design of computer-based instruction.
