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...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

724
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

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...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

739
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction01:24

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction

2.0K
Generalization, discrimination, and extinction are key concepts in operant conditioning that influence how behaviors are learned and maintained.
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Computer-based cognitive retraining improved global cognition in individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI). However, these cognitive gains did not transfer to a daily medication management task, suggesting a need for further interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Computer-based cognitive retraining (CBCR) is increasingly used for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI).
  • Generalization of cognitive skills to daily living tasks is a critical outcome measure for rehabilitation interventions.
  • The Parrot Software is a commercially available CBCR program used in this study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the generalization of cognitive skills to a daily living task after CBCR in individuals with ABI.
  • To assess changes in global cognition and performance on a medication-box sorting task following CBCR.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve individuals with ABI participated in the study.
  • Participants completed eight modules of the Parrot Software CBCR program.
  • Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and performance on a medication-box sorting task was measured.

Main Results:

  • CBCR intervention led to improvements in global cognition, but not in specific cognitive domains.
  • Improvements in global cognition did not translate to enhanced performance on the medication-box sorting task.
  • The study demonstrated a lack of skill generalization from CBCR to a novel daily living task.

Conclusions:

  • While CBCR shows promise for improving global cognition in individuals with ABI, it may not be sufficient for skill generalization to daily tasks.
  • Additional interventions may be necessary to bridge the gap between cognitive retraining and functional improvements in daily living.
  • Future research should explore interventions that facilitate the transfer of learned cognitive skills to real-world activities.
