The acquisition and structuring of knowledge in PBL is thought to work through the following cognitive effects (Schmidt, 1993):
* initial analysis of the problem and activation of prior knowledge
through small-group discussion
* elaboration on prior knowledge and active processing of new information
* restructuring of knowledge, construction of a semantic network
* social knowledge construction
* learning in context
* stimulation of curiosity related to presentation of a relevant problem
