Is Cognitive Learning Theory Better Than Traditional Memorization?

[yolir]

Hi everyone,

I've been comparing traditional memorization methods with cognitive learning theory, and it seems like this approach focuses more on understanding concepts deeply rather than just repeating information. Has anyone here switched from memorization to cognitive learning theory strategies like active learning or discovery learning?

I'm wondering if this approach really improves critical thinking and problem-solving skills in real situations, especially for exams or professional learning.
