Reconstructing constructivism: Causal models, Bayesian learning mechanisms and the theory theory

  Recent work has revealed several new and significant aspects of the dynamics of theory change. First, statistical information, information about the probabilistic contingencies between events, plays a particularly important role in theory-formation both in science and in childhood. In the last fifteen years we’ve discovered the power of early statistical learning.
  
  The data of the past is congruent with the current psychological trends that face the education system of today. Developmentalists have charted how children construct and revise intuitive theories. In turn, a variety of theories have developed because of the greater use of statistical information that supports probabilistic contingencies that help to better inform us of causal models and their distinctive cognitive functions. These studies investigate the physical, psychological, and social domains. In the case of intuitive psychology, or "theory of mind," developmentalism has traced a progression from an early understanding of emotion and action to an understanding of intentions and simple aspects of perception, to an understanding of knowledge vs. ignorance, and finally to a representational and then an interpretive theory of mind.
  
  The mechanisms by which life evolved—from chemical beginnings to cognizing human beings—are central to understanding the psychological basis of learning. We are the product of an evolutionary process and it is the mechanisms inherent in this process that offer the most probable explanations to how we think and learn.

  个人学习可能取决于他人行为的主张突出了将学习环境视为一个涉及多个互动参与者的系统的重要性
  
  When it comes to learning context, what reminds me is the personalized learning context theory. Stephen Dowens (2010) pointed out that the learning context is a loose collection of learners, tools, resources and services, which is also a new form of the network power utilization. In a personalized learning context, there is undoubtedly that learners are the main body who participating in the teaching and learning activities. We can assume that in a passive process like listening to instructor’s point without learner’s interaction, it’s hard for learners to improve their creativity and learning efficiency. Many online learning environment designers create discussion forums in the learning system to record learners' interactions with other leaners, such as questions they ask and the responses to others' questions. The system can capture learners' study related data, analyze and assess their cognitive levels using algorithms such as the Proficiency Model.

  Kahneman concluded his aforementioned presentation to academics by arguing that computers or robots are better than humans on three essential dimensions: they are better at statistical reasoning and less enamoured with stories; they have higher emotional intelligence; and they exhibit far more wisdom than humans.
  
  A little over-the-top?

  But, while Kahneman calls for large-scale replications of priming studies, the argument here is not that we need more studies or data to verify that people indeed miss blatantly obvious gorillas. Instead, we need better interpretation and better theories.
  
  More data vs more theories
  
  Humans are biased by our theories (though not totally). But isn't that the goal of science, to collectively question our assumptions and experiments? We need to attempt to falsify our theories not only by questioning the experiments and repeating them, but also by questioning the theories used to interpret data.
