Summary
Research into evaluative learning has focused almost exclusively on passive learning. That is, this research tradition is built on paradigms that minimize participants’ autonomy to exert control over the stimuli they learn about at a certain point in time. These paradigms thereby neglect the individuals’ preparedness to process certain information, although evidence is accumulating that individuals are not merely passive recipients of information but that they enrich stimuli with self-generated information. Moreover, in their daily lives, individuals have plenty of opportunities to create their own learning environments. This chapter first provides a definition of preparedness that embraces a constructivist view on evaluative learning. We then review the method and results of a recently developed sampling approach to evaluative learning and relate our findings back to our definition of preparedness. We show that the sampling approach to evaluative learning generates intriguing new findings and a variety of relevant questions for future research.
