Congitivism as a Learning Theory moved beyond those of the "observable" behaviors to delving into the construct of how one thinks. Jean Piaget (great background on Piaget and Cognitivism)is touted with significant contribution to Cognitiivist Learning Theory. Those that prescribed to Cognitivism did so as they began to assess the nonlinear nature of the stimulus and the response. Whereas Behaviorism correlated the behavior with the response cognitivists hypothesize that there were multiple/complex interactions occurring during this process. Cognitivists addressed the "in-between" of the stimulus/response interaction. Whereas behaviorist only analyzed the observable (with many assessing that the unobservable could not be studies) cognitivsts believed that one could analyze the processes occurring in the mind.
Cognitivists "were interested in modeling the mental structures and processes that operated in the mind in order to explain behavior". Harasim, Linda (2012). Learning Theory and Online Technology (p. 47). Taylor and Francis.
