Prior Knowledge,Abstract Rule Learning And Routine Dynamics

In recent years,cognitive factor is introduced to the research of routines,and it explains routine dynamics partly.However,the researchers of routines didn’t explore the deep roots of routine dynamics in the rules based on cognitive representation and its different levels.For the purpose,we use the related research of neuroscience and cognitive science for reference to explore cognition and its hierarchy,in order to study routine dynamics further.Firstly,Graybiel changes the behavior of rats through the disturbing the rat neural mechanisms,and it means that routines are variable.But the variation isn’t carried out through own cognition,so it’s unrealistic.Nevertheless,Zelazo proposes ’Cognitive complexity and control theory’ to explain the influence of cognitive in Behavior patterns successfully.However,the higher-order cognition is not discovered independently in Zelazo’s study.We know that the way to get abstract rules is ’trial and error’ and the factor which influences the abstract rules discovery are cognition and knowledge from the research of abstract rules(higher-order cognition)discovery in Badre’s research.However,in Badre’s research,the knowledge necessity to obtain abstract rules is obtained in experiment,and you do not need prior knowledge beyond experiments.Then,what influence prior knowledge has on the establishment of the hierarchy rules?For studying the influence that prior knowledge has on abstract rules discovery and then routine dynamics,we use Badre’s research for reference to project three experiments to explore.There isn’t abstract rule in the first experiment.There is a higher-order rules that relates to experiential knowledge in the second experiment.There is a higher-order rules that associated with prior knowledge in the third experiment.We prove that abstract rule can improve routine dynamics through the first experiment and the second experiment.We prove that prior knowledge can facilitate abstract rule discovery and then improve routine dynamics through the first experiment and the third experiment.
