With Accessibility we can better help people learn from a design by better understanding the diversity of people and their personas. If we can connect people of different languages, genders, ethnic groups, healthy and disabled on technological devices that they can all relate to than we can learn together in sequence rather than isolated in the exposure of knowledge. Accessibility to fundamental technology like the internet and having a phone have allowed us to learn more efficiently.
Advanced Organizers are a key to learning. People have a short attention span and can only hold so much memory in their heads when learning something new. Because of this when information is presented in an organized spoken, written or illustrated way like a summary it allows us to focus better at the subject at hand.
The Biophilia Effect is a philosophical idea that the imagery of natural views like a forest or sunrise reduce stress and enhance focus. I believe it is true to the extent of people having phobias of dark forests or getting lost. But I do believe most people can relate in saying that they like the look of natural scenes and because of this reading information with a background image you like will be more stimulating than a simple mundane color.
The Cathedral Effect is when we perceived height of a ceiling and cognition.
Chunking is combining information so that it is easier to process. This helps people learn because it allows them to use less memory when trying to focus on something. Most people can remember a list of five words for 30 seconds but most can’t do 10. So when chunking information into the least amount of words possible it allows people to learn easier.
Classical Conditioning is stimulating the unconscious physical or emotional response. An example of this would be using colors to influence emotion
