Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
This field emerged in the mid-20th century, following a period dominated by behaviorism, which...

Non-equilibrium in the Cell

Non-equilibrium in the Cell

An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Nonconscious Mimicry

Nonconscious Mimicry

Nonconscious mimicry occurs when individuals alter their mannerisms to match the behaviors and expressions of those nearby, without intention.

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Subconsciousness and No Awareness

Subconsciousness and No Awareness

The concept of subconscious awareness refers to the processing of information below the level of conscious thought, which significantly influences both behaviors and decisions. It is also known as waking subconscious awareness. This complex level of cognition operates without the direct awareness of the individual, facilitating rapid and simultaneous handling of multiple information streams.
An illustrative example of subconscious processing is its role in problem-solving. Often, individuals...

Area of Science:

Robotics
Artificial Intelligence
Cognitive Science

Background:

Current robotic behavior is limited to basic movements.
Consciousness is a complex, culturally defined human trait.
Bridging the gap between artificial and human-like cognition is a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computable transposition of consciousness concepts for artificial brains.
To enable robots to express emotions and consciousness.
To achieve intentional and adaptive behavior in autonomous robots.

Main Methods:

A two-part system for robot behavior management.
Part one: Constructivist computation of symbolic representations for robot movement and environment interaction.
Part two: Morphological representation of the first part using dynamic geometry and multi-agent organization with morphologic control.

Main Results:

The proposed system facilitates the development of artificial consciousness in robots.
Enables robots to exhibit intentional and adaptive behaviors.
Integrates environmental representation with embodied morphology.

Conclusions:

The model provides a framework for creating robots with emotional and conscious capabilities.
This approach enhances robot autonomy and adaptability.
It redefines robot bodies as morphological apprehensions of their material substrate.
