THE COGNITIVE RAMPAGE PODCAST with host Adam Lowery, talks Proof or fiction regarding learning styles with Dr. Bobby Hoffman
“I’m a visual learner is bs statement. No one is a visual, audio or hands-on dominant learner. The research apparently doesn’t matter.”-Dr. Hoffman. He brings evidence to back up his statements and draws parallels to why this is actually HARMING OUR CHILDREN! —buy his book— —buy my book—
Dr. Bobby Hoffman is not only a columnist at Psychology Today, is an educator and researcher with specific interests in the antecedents of motivation and beliefs. His primary research focus is in cognitive and motivational efficiency. This program of research focuses upon what factors contribute to optimal thinking and how individuals process complex information. Dr. Hoffman has published numerous research studies which indicate that factors such as self-efficacy and engagement can compensate for limitations caused by working memory and state anxiety. His recent presentations to the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the American Psychological Association (APA) include the Influence of Self-efficacy and Working Memory on Problem-solving Efficiency, The Effect of Single-Sex Instruction in a Large, Urban, At-Risk High School and Motivational Engagement in Video Games: A Mixed Methods Study. Bob’s reputation in the field of educational psychology is due in part to his major theoretical contribution; Conceptions of efficiency: Applications in learning and problem solving which was recently published in the leading journal, Educational Psychologist.
Bob is a member of the editorial board of three leading journals; Contemporary Educational Psychology,Educational Psychology Review, and Educational Research, Technology & Development. He is a frequent reviewer for Educational Psychologist, The Asia-Pacific Education Review and several national educational research organizations. In addition, he is co-creator and program coordinator for the growing Applied Learning & Instruction M.A. program founded in 2008. A 2005 graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the 19th ranked Educational Psychology department in the nation, Bob has a PhD in Educational Psychology with a specialization in Learning & Technology.

In addition to his PhD, Bob holds a MA degree in Human Resources Psychology, and a BA in Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey.
Prior to a career in educational psychology, Bob was an entrepreneur owning his own Human Resources consulting firm for over 10 years. Before self-employment he worked in a variety of corporate and field Human Resources (HR) positions. During his tenure as an HR consultant he published over thirty articles on topics of organizational development and effectiveness. The Society of Human Resources Management has recognized Bob as instrumental in the advancement of the HR profession for his research and publications in the area of 360-degree feedback, a management tool designed to enhance individual performance and goal attainment.

Dear Tribe of Change,
We hoard education and knowledge, we eat our own and sacrifice our kids future for a system we have passively accepted to be dues that must be paid. That’s called #musterbation and enforcing beliefs courtesy of @Dr. Albert Ellis
Only we can make change happen. We cannot wait on a corrupt system ran by powerful people to simple give it back. It is our lives, our children’s lives that we sacrifice into the same fires we survived. I want to lay on my death bed and be able to tell my daughter I fought every-way I knew how. Don’t you?
The Cognitive Rampage, a dose of authentic revelation releases this Friday 3/25/16 everywhere online and at www.cognitiverampage.com
I HOPE YOU’RE TAKING CARE OF YOU AND LIVING YOUR COGNITIVE RAMPAGE, if not you can start this Friday! or now.
I love you,
Adam Lowery

Topics in short-hand: learning styles are not real – No such thing as intrinsic motivation? – Re-packaging of ideas in academia and on the web = plagiarism? – Procrastination is a form of protection? – Do you really perform better last minute? – Gladwell didn’t come up with the 10,000 hour theory btw – Beliefs versus thoughts – Defining beliefs and reality – Separable Outcome and Self Determination Theories – Confidence trumps equal talent – Why we push to make sense of the world and find purpose – Why ask why – Depression and anxiety are protective mechanisms – Lesson directly from Bernie Madoff’s mouth a week ago – Be careful where you sit in meetings and others places, you could be telling on yourself. Oh yeah, we talked about motivation and drive amidst all of this.

I believe a stigma still exists that real men don’t experience mental health or all that “psycho babble”. Us bloggers have to walk on eggshells if we decide to use words like masculine on social media. Well I used it. I am trying to make it strong, not weak for men to reach out for help. I covered this first on this episode of The Cognitive Rampage Podcast #50
I coined the term “Open Source Psychology” in my book The Cognitive Rampage, a dose of authentic revelation. (Wikibooks). Some have called the book a Master’s Degree in Mental Health in 180 pages. I wish this was true. It would have saved me a lot of student loans! I believe as practitioners we need to offer all we know and all we can so others can use it and build on it. This is what I did with this book. Customized and build off of the greats. In this episode I offer some psychological weapons for parenting, career, depression and addiction. Oh yeah I also describe what it means to be a Florida Boy (or Girl).
I hope you’re taking care of you and living Your Cognitive Rampage!
