Cognitivism

3.4K
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

1.3K
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Information Processing Approach

856
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...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

917
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function.

Perception01:28

Perception

1.8K
Perception is a fundamental psychological process that enables individuals to organize, interpret, and consciously experience sensory information. This process is crucial for understanding and interacting with the world around us. It includes both bottom-up and top-down processing, each playing a distinct role in how we perceive our environment.
Bottom-up processing begins at the sensory level, where receptors detect external environmental stimuli. These could include the tactile sensation of...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology01:20

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

3.0K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ten sessions of three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) training improved attention, working memory, and processing speed. This cognitive training also induced measurable changes in resting-state brain activity.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) is an emerging perceptual-cognitive training system.
  • The impact of 3D-MOT on cognitive functions and brain activity in healthy adults remains underexplored.
  • This study addresses the need for research on 3D-MOT's efficacy in a normative population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of 3D-MOT training on attention, working memory, and visual information processing speed.
  • To examine the neurophysiological correlates of 3D-MOT using quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG).
  • To assess these changes in a normative, university-aged population.

Main Methods:

  • A training group (NT) underwent 10 sessions of 3D-MOT, while a nonactive control group (CON) did not.
  • Cognitive functions were evaluated using standardized neuropsychological tests.
  • Resting-state brain activity was measured using quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG).

Main Results:

  • Participants in the 3D-MOT training group showed significant enhancements in attention, visual information processing speed, and working memory.
  • Quantitative electroencephalography revealed quantifiable changes in resting-state neuroelectric brain function following 3D-MOT.
  • The training group demonstrated greater cognitive improvements compared to the control group.

Conclusions:

  • 10 sessions of 3D-MOT training is effective in enhancing key cognitive functions, including attention, working memory, and processing speed.
  • 3D-MOT training induces measurable alterations in resting-state brain function.
  • This study provides evidence for the utility of 3D-MOT as a cognitive enhancement tool in a healthy population.
