Abstract
Although education remains dominated by behavioristic principles, a steadily increasing influence of cognitive science is apparent. The research literature is abundant with articles that are concerned with cognitive development, thinking and problem-solving, cognitive learning strategies and skills, and cognitively based instructional designs. The cognitive influence is finding its way into the teaching of specific subjects, particularly reading, but in mathematics, science, and social studies as well.
