Cognitive Model: Children Subtracting Error

Introduction

The aim of the paper is to discuss the cognitive theory of modeling in the context of the subtraction errors in children. The paper extricates the opinions of different experts regarding the reasons behind the error of subtraction in children. In addition to it, the paper discusses the solution to the issue regarding the subtraction error provided by the experts' theories.

Cognitive modeling theory

Discussion

The theory of cognitive modeling extricates the basic idea of the cognition. Cognitive modeling reflects the facts regarding the cognition of the Human Being. It extricates what the cognition is actually and how does it work. The aim of the cognitive modeling is to provide researched based evidences regarding the intelligence level as well as the cognitive behavior of the human being. The theory of the cognitive modeling basically discusses the interdisciplinary process of scientific research regarding the function of the nervous system of the human beings and animals as well as regarding the main functioning process of the machines for instance, functioning of computers (Van Dijk, T. A., 2011).

Cognitive modeling theory embraces almost all the key aspects of the human nature including human psychology, philosophy as well as linguistics and anthropology. The theory of the cognitive modeling holds the concept of the processing of the information to the mind of the human being. It has focus on the way the information is processed to the mind in terms of perception, emotions, language, memory as well as reasoning. The interdisciplinary nature of the cognitive theory reflects the direct link of the theory to the key functioning of the human's body in daily routine life (Peterson, B. S., 2002). The theory has a wide scope in various subjects that has direct or in direct relation with the functioning of the nervous system of the human as well as the nervous system or main functioning system of the animals and machines. One of the most important implications of the cognitive theory is in area of children's subtraction error.

Cognitive theory of the subtraction error in children extricates the actual reasons behind the common subtracting error in children according to the cognitive theory, most of the subtraction error in the children calculation occurs due to the use of the incorrect strategies not because of the wrong recalling of the facts regarding the numbers calculations. The actually reason of doing wrong subtraction is due to the inefficient cognitive skill of sending correct message to the mind regarding the strategies of solving subtraction puzzles. These errors in the calculation of the children can be easily avoided simply by making some appropriate alteration in the inclusion or some of the arithmetic rules. Different experts have provided their models for the mitigation of the subtraction error in children. Experts have different opinions regarding the reasons behind the common errors in the written subtraction based calculations of the children. The paper discusses different expert opinions regarding the error issues in children subtraction including Young and ...
