Cognitivism

2.9K
Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

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...

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

321
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

975
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...

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

358
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Summary

This commentary argues that componential and emergent views of cognitive control are interdependent, not opposing. Cognitive inhibition illustrates how these perspectives integrate for a comprehensive understanding of cognitive functions.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Theories of cognitive control often present componential and emergent views as distinct.
  • Cooper (2010) defined these contrasting perspectives on cognitive control.
  • Understanding cognitive control is crucial for various psychological and neurological applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To argue that componential and emergent views of cognitive control are not mutually exclusive.
  • To propose an integrative framework highlighting the interdependence of these two perspectives.
  • To demonstrate the practical application of this integrative view using cognitive inhibition.

Main Methods:

  • Commentary and theoretical analysis.
  • Examination of existing literature on cognitive control theories.
  • Case study using the construct of cognitive inhibition.

Main Results:

  • Componential and emergent views of cognitive control can be reconciled.
  • Cognitive inhibition serves as a key example of how these views are interconnected.
  • Analysis of target articles supports an integrative perspective.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive control is best understood through an integrated lens, combining componential and emergent properties.
  • This integrated view offers a more nuanced understanding of cognitive functions like inhibition.
  • Future research should explore further the interdependence of componential and emergent aspects of cognitive control.
