Answer:
Cognitive skills help students to build upon previous knowledge and ideas- with a deeper understanding of topics and stronger learning skills, students have the ability to approach schoolwork with enthusiasm and a little confidence. Cognition itself has effected behaviorism by altering the original conceptions of the human mind and creating a significant influence on classroom instruction and psychopathology. This has lead to the rise in cognitive science, and the eventual demise of the dominance of behaviorism. A cognitive map is a mental representation of the layout of someone's environment, for example, if a rat/multiple rats have explored a maze enough, they may act as though they have a cognitive map of it. An example of a cognitive map from my own life would be describing landmarks, roads, amount of turns, etc. to my friend who asked directions to come over to my house. Latent learning is a type of learning that does not happen at the exact time of learning, but instead appears later when suitable motivation and circumstances come into play. A personal example of latent learning would be learning how to do a math problem in class, but not immediately being able to do it without the incentive of getting a good grade on an upcoming test. Insight is when an answer to a problem becomes apparent quickly and abruptly- an example from my personal life would be keeping my dogs in a fenced-off area to keep them from running away. Intrinsic motivation is the act of completing an action without any obvious external rewards, like when I was younger, I used to read books so much and so often, just because I loved reading and wanted to do it. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is doing/completing an activity for the purpose of a reward. For example, as a young child in the classroom, the promise of a "pizza-party" or "treat-day" drove me (and my classmates, of course) to do well and win the treats.
