认知心理学应用于中学英语词汇教学的实证性研究

论文摘要

本论文是对认知心理学应用于中学英语词汇教学的实证性研究。重点研究如何将认知心理学的研究成果应用于英语词汇教学实践,以提高中学英语词汇教学质量。作为心理学的一个分支,认知心理学关注人在认知过程中的内在思想活动,其范围涉及思维、认知、记忆、感知、行为等诸多方面,尤其强调外界刺激对行为产生过程中人的认知活动状态。词汇在整个外语学习中起着核心和基础的作用,它是决定人们能否自如沟通交流的重要因素,而认知心理在很大程度上左右着词汇学习的全过程。因此,了解并最终控制该过程是一项必不可少的英语学习技能。本文从认知心理学信息加工理论入手,将词汇的学习分为输入,中心处理,输出三个环节。分别讨论各个环节的特点并提出相应的学习策略。通过实验组和控制组教学实验对比,分析每个环节测试成绩,以验证所提策略的有效性。在实证研究的基础上,提出中学英语词汇教学认知各个环节应采用的的策略,旨在对中学英语词汇教学提供科学,客观的依据与帮助。
