      Knowledge and Understanding

      • EquationsWhat are the different forms and structures of knowledge?
      • What are the influences of cognitive processes such as memory and learning on the nature of knowledge?
      • What are the contexts (including cultural) within which learning takes place?
      • What is the relationship between cognitive processes and other determinants of performance such as motivation, creativity, emotion and fun?
      • How do people evaluate complex knowledge, such as scientific knowledge, and act on it?
      • How is knowledge acquired and what is the impact of information and communication technologies on this?
