{"pk":49624,"title":"What and How Schema Networks Are Acquired During the Learning of Line Graphs: Modelling Using Representational Systems Theory.","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper addresses a gap in our understanding of cogni-tion with external representations: what memory struc-tures are acquired and how they change during learning?  The focus will be on line graphs.  We adopt Representation Interpretive Structure Theory (RIST) and its modelling no-tation (RISN) as an approach to answer those questions.  RIST is a schema theoretic account and RISN operational-izes its assumptions.  Models for stages in the gradual ac-quisition of growing interpretive sophistication are built, from basic precursor components to advanced interpreta-tions.  Learning mechanisms are proposed to explain the transition between the stages.  During learning, the memory structures undergo localized incremental changes and more global radical restructuring of the networks.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Externally-supported cognition; Instruction and teaching"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/32m619xk","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Peter","middle_name":"","last_name":"Cheng","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sussex","department":""},{"first_name":"Grecia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Garcia Garcia","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sussex","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2025-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49624/galley/37586/download/"}]}
