Role of Memory
Major characteristics are children learning through their environment. Vygotsky emphasized learning through parents, peers, and their culture(Cherry, 2022).
The role of memory can differ by culture. Different culture use different strategies for children to recall information(Cherry, 2022).

How Learning Occurs
Types of learning
Learning occurs through Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. Scaffolding occurs to help guide learners to eventually be able to do and understand information(Cherry, 2022).
The different types of learning involve teacher planned, scaffolding, learning through play and socialization, and hints and prompts(Cherry, 2022).
Role of Memory
Connections are made through different sources of learning. As a learner is exposed to new information, they make connections to recall the information later(Western Governors University, 2021).

Connectivism is a newer theory from 2005 introduced by George Siemens.
Connectivism is based on peer to peer interactions, exchanging knowledge, and the use of technology.(IWestern Govenors University, 2021).

How Learning Occurs
Connectivism embraces the use of collaboration in learning, student-centered learning, and diverse learning. Students can use technology to find information and work together to use it(Western Govenors University, 2021)
Learning occurs through collaboration among students, looking up information on an online search engine, and the critical thinking process(Western Governors University, 2021).

Role of Memory
Adult Learning Theory is how adult learning differs from how a child learns. Self-concept, adult learner experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learning, and motivation to learn are 5 key assumptions to the theory(O'Neill, 2022).
Major Theorist
Adults must solve problems and use reasoning in order to make connections and recall information(O'Neill, 2022).
Malcolm Knowles is the developer of the Adult Learning Theory.

Learning Theory
How Learning Occurs
Types of learning
Learning occurs when adult learners are involved in the learning process, connect to past experiences, and can connect ways to use the new information immediately(O'Neill, 2022).
Types include a more independent learning process, taking from experiences, and direct relation to task or career(O'Neill, 2022).
