“Apple expatriates Bruce ‘Tog’ Togzini and Jef Raskin, highly-credentialed and respected individuals, are figuratively leading the charge to convince users that, regardless of how much any individual may like Aqua, it is poorly designed and will destroy their productivity. In seeing the obvious painstaking design that went into the new interface, I found myself having a hard time believing these arguments, convincing through they sounded, and in the process of replying to some discussion postings on MacCentral.com, I found myself discovering the holes in their reasoning.”

“Ausubel’s theory is concerned with how individuals learn large amounts of meaningful material from verbal/textual presentations in a school setting (in contrast to theories developed in the context of laboratory experiments). According to Ausubel, learning is based upon the kinds of superordinate, representational, and combinatorial processes that occur during the reception of information. A primary process in learning is subsumption in which new material is related to relevant ideas in the existing cognitive structure on a substantive, non-verbatim basis. Cognitive structures represent the residue of all learning experiences; forgetting occurs because certain details get integrated and lose their individual identity.”
