Abstract
Education and teaching facilitate the accumulation of human culture and its transmission across generations. Although many of the models of instructional design used in teaching in educational institutions are based in cultural experience and remain untested empirically, phenomenological investigations of learning and memory in cognitive psychology have led to the development of testable models. Recent scientific studies have proven useful in redesigning and developing models of instructional design and, therefore, in improving education and teaching. This study combines results from cognitive psychology and modern scientific disciplines, including information science, in order to erect a broad framework in which to examine learning and memory. Under the banner of educational neuroscience, this framework, which views learning and memory as resulting from plasticity in the connectivity of an organism, or a structure, with its environment, may have application in examining some of the recently developed and testable models of instructional design.
