    - preferred way an individual processes information.
    - describe as a personality dimension influences attitudes, values and social interaction.

LEARNING STYLES- speaks to the understanding that every students learns differently.
UNDERSTANDING VASK  - one of the most accepted understanding of learning styles.

           3 CATEGORIES ( Educational Theorist  Heirl Fleming )

3. AURAL
4. VERBAL
5. LOGICAL
6. SOCIAL
7. SOLITARY

CONTENT THEORIES- focus on the factor within the person that energize, direct sustain and stop behavior.
PROCESS THEORIES- provide a description and analysis.
REINFORCEMENT EXPECTANCY EQUITY GOAL SETTING THEORIES  - have been supported by how researched studies and are viewed as the most helpful                                          application.
EXPECTANCY AND EQUITY  -a part of compensation curricular considered in the design of compensation                                            plans. 
EXPECTANCY AND EQUITY THEORIES  -researched as reinforcement and goal setting theories.
REINFORCEMENT THEORIES -build on the consumption that behavior is influenced by its consequences.
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT -the strength of response includes repetition of the behavior that proceed the                                                       reinforcement.
NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT -increases the frequency of response.
PUNISHNENT-undesirable consequence of particular behavior.
EXTICTION-response rate due to non-reinforcement.
BEHAVIORAL MODEL-behavioral approach to systems theory and control theory.
EXPECTANCY MODEL- looks at how likely it is performance  and outcome will occur.
EQUITY THEORY- taking up that employers compare their efforts and rewards.
GOAL SETTING THEORY- restrictive and incomplete to be useful for general application.
                                   - developed by J. Stacey Adams. 

 My reflection-  cognitive style is a usually described as a personality dimension which influences attitudes, values, and social interaction.....we can see individuals differences in processing information.....
