In a statement, Baker said the findings âstrongly suggest a potent lifestyle intervention such as aerobic exercise can impact Alzheimer's-related changes in the brain. In another six-month trial,3 researchers investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive impairment in patients with VCI.
Paul Fitts (1964; Fitts & Posner, 1967) has proposed three stages (or phases) of learning: the cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages (see table 1.1).The cognitive stage is characterized by the learnerâs trying to figure out what exactly needs to be done.
âThere are three kinds of transfer: from prior knowledge to learning, from learning to new learning, and from learning to applicationâ (Simons, 1999). The issue of transfer of learning is a central issue in both education and learning psychology. There is probably a subtle difference between transfer of learning (that addresses what is learnt in school) and transfer of knowledge (that addresses the general issue of applying knowledge to new situations).
