Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

1.1K
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Introspection01:29

Introspection

428
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

57.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Reflex Activity01:08

Reflex Activity

5.5K
A reflex activity is an automatic, involuntary response to specific stimuli. It is a part of our survival mechanism, designed to protect us from potential harm. For example, when a bright light suddenly shines into our eyes, we instinctively close them or look away. This is a simple reflex activity orchestrated by the nervous system without conscious thought or effort.
A reflex exam is a diagnostic procedure performed by a healthcare professional to evaluate the functionality of a patient's...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

1.6K
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

4.5K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Knowledge Translation Science

Background:

  • A persistent gap exists between research findings and practical application across various practice domains.
  • Knowledge translation (KT) is crucial for bridging this research-practice divide.
  • Reflection and reflexive exercises are increasingly recognized as vital components of the KT process in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore reflexive practice as a methodological tool for enhancing knowledge translation.
  • To investigate if systematic reflexivity can improve the utilization and application of research findings in practice.

Main Methods:

  • The study examined the relationship between reflexivity and knowledge translation.
  • Structured journal entries were utilized as a method to facilitate reflexive practice.
  • The focus was on how reflexivity aids in identifying and understanding personal, professional, and political challenges in practice.

Main Results:

  • Reflexive practice offers new insights and increased self-awareness for researchers and practitioners.
  • It enables critical examination of work and acknowledgment of biases impacting the knowledge translation process.
  • Systematic reflexivity has the potential to improve the knowledge translation process.

Conclusions:

  • Reflexive practice is a valuable methodological tool for enhancing knowledge translation.
  • Increased self-awareness and critical examination through reflexivity can lead to better application of research in practice.
  • Further exploration of structured reflexivity can optimize research utilization in everyday practice.
