Cognitive Blindness: Hidden Barrier to Real Learning
Cognitive blindness represents a critical yet often overlooked limitation in contemporary education. This is defined by the understanding deficiencies in the processing of knowledge transfer. Here, learners are exposed to information or lessons but fail to achieve meaningful understanding, retention and application. Understanding Cognitive Blindness: Why Learners Fail to Understand This paper conceptualizes cognitive blindness as a functional deficiency in the learning brain. It is characterized by the inability to process, structure, and internalize knowledge despite active participation in classroom activities. The study examines how traditional, teacher-centered instructional models and passive learning environments contribute to fragmented knowledge transfer and superficial learning outcomes. Drawing on the principles of learnography and book-to-brain learning, the study identifies key factors underlying cognitive blindness. These factors are the absence of structured knowledge fra...
