Using Brainwaves to Understand Learner Activities in Different Types of Learning Materials
The major disadvantage of cognitive learning theory as opposed to behavioral learning theory is that human thinking could not be observed.The study on electroencephalogram(EEG),an electrophysiological monitoring test,to record electrical activities of the brain,is expected to complement the cognitive learning theory which could not be observed in the course of learning.The purpose of this study is to investigate how the frontal lobe region of brain,which is related to learning,projects different brainwaves according to different types of learning materials.Brainwaves using EEG were monitored for 5 minutes when learners were studying different types of learning materials: text,audio,captioned video,and captionless video.Text material showed the highest frequencies in beta waves compared with sound and captioned video clips.Theta and alpha waves for captioned video were higher compared with video only materials.The results of this study provide possibility of using EEG as a research tool for understanding human learning in terms of cognitive approaches.
