Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

463
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

5.9K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Self-Awareness and Its Effects01:21

Self-Awareness and Its Effects

415
Self-awareness is a psychological state in which the individual becomes the focal point of their attention. This inward focus transforms the self into an object of contemplation and assessment, influencing how individuals perceive their actions and their alignment with personal and societal standards.Triggers and Contexts for Self-AwarenessSelf-awareness can be activated by external stimuli that make individuals visually or audibly aware of themselves, such as mirrors, cameras, or recordings.

Self-Schemas

24.8K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

458
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Piaget's Stage 4 of Cognitive Development

1.1K
The formal operational stage, as described in Piaget's cognitive development theory, begins around age 11 and extends into adulthood. It marks the emergence of advanced cognitive abilities that differentiate adolescent and adult thinking from those of younger children. This stage is characterized by abstract reasoning, hypothetical-deductive reasoning, and a more complex understanding of self and others.
Abstract Reasoning and Hypothetical-Deductive Thinking
Unlike the concrete operational...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Research Methodology
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • A need for defined competencies in population health intervention research (PHIR) was identified in 2009.
  • Six core competency domains for PHIR were subsequently developed and released.
  • This work specifically addresses the "reflective researcher" domain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the proposed "reflective researcher" competencies in PHIR.
  • To argue that the current definition of reflexivity is too narrow and oversimplified.
  • To propose a more accurate definition of a reflective researcher to foster field development.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of the proposed competencies.
  • Comparison with established definitions of reflexivity.
  • Development of alternative propositions for the "reflective researcher" domain.

Main Results:

  • The current propositions for the "reflective researcher" domain are based on a narrow and oversimplified view of reflexivity.
  • Disseminating these propositions may mislead researchers and hinder the effective practice of reflexivity.
  • A more nuanced understanding of reflexivity is essential for the advancement of PHIR.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed "reflective researcher" competencies require revision.
  • A broader and more accurate definition of reflexivity is crucial for the effective practice and evolution of population health intervention research.
  • Refining this competency is vital for enhancing the field's capacity to improve population health.
