Subsumption Theory: 4 Learning Processes

The document outlines 4 processes of meaningful learning according to subsumption theory: 1) derivative subsumption involves learning new information as an example of a previously learned concept, 2) correlative subsumption involves higher-level conceptual thinking, 3) superordinate learning occurs when familiar things are linked to a new overarching concept, and 4) combinatorial learning enriches understanding through combining new and prior knowledge, often through analogy. Examples are provided for each process.

SUBSUMPTION THEORY: 4 PROCESSES OF MEANINGFUL LEARNING

1. DERIVATIVE SUBSUMPTION
2. CORRELATIVE SUBSUMPTION
3. SUPERORDINATE LEARNING
4. COMBINATORIAL LEARNING

1. DERIVATIVE SUBSUMPTION- describe the situation in which the new information you learn
is an example of a concept that you have learned.
Example:

2. CORRELATIVE SUBSUMPTION- higher level concept of thinking.


Example:
3. SUPERORDINATE LEARNING- you are already familiar with the things but didn’t know the
concept itself until it was taught.
Example:

4. COMBINATORIAL LEARNING-

when the newly acquired knowledge combine with prior


knowledge to enrich the understanding of concepts.
Students could think of this as learning by analogy.

Example:

Previously acquired knowledge:
