Cognitive Flexibility TheoryR. Spiro, P.
Feltovitch R. Coulson

• emphasis is placed upon the presentation of
  information from multiple perspectives

• the ability to spontaneously restructure one's
  knowledge, in many ways, in adaptive response to
  changing situational demands

Guiding Principles of Cognitive Flexibility 1.
Learning activities must provide multiple
representations of content. 2. Instructional
materials should avoid oversimplifying the
content. 3. Instruction should emphasize
knowledge construction, not transmission of
information. 4. Knowledge sources should be
highly interconnected rather than
compartmentalized.
