Dr Ken’s Cognitive Toolbox

My Cognitive Toolbox is about giving electrical students the skills to improve their learning in Electrical Physics. “How does the Cognote Toolbox do this?” Simply by improving the use of your imagination. This in turn improves the students ability to cope with complex abstract concepts and so improve their ability to create appropriate mental models, that are required in this area of science.

The tools in the Toolbox , have at center, the active use of imagination. There are eight (8) tools that lead up to imagination and eight (8) tools that then support imagination. This gives a total of seventeen tools in all. I hope you enjoy using the Cognitive Toolbox, Dr. Ken.
