Cognitivism developed in the 1950s as a reaction to behaviorism. Behaviorist learning theories focus on strict stimulus and response training. Cognitivists object to behaviorists because they feel that behaviorists thought learning was simply a reaction to a stimulus. 
Cognitivism has influenced and been influenced by developments in many fields, including: instructional design, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuropsychology. 

Some of the main principles of cognitivism for more effective human learning in educational settings are: Learning must be purposeful and focused, Learning must be self-directed, and Learning must come from analysis to discovery.
