Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

358
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Associative Learning

1.9K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Observational Learning

1.2K
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Language Development

1.1K
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Computational Linguistics

Background:

  • Clinical notes contain vital temporal information essential for diagnosis, treatment, and research.
  • Manual extraction of temporal expressions using regular expressions is time-consuming and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel algorithm for the automatic learning of regular expressions to recognize temporal expressions in clinical text.
  • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of temporal information extraction from electronic health records.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Regular Expression Discovery Extraction (REDEx) algorithm.
  • Utilized class-specific keywords to retrieve relevant text snippets.
  • Trained the algorithm on these snippets to learn regular expressions for temporal expressions.
  • Evaluated the algorithm's performance using 10-fold cross-validation.

Main Results:

  • Identified five distinct classes of temporal expressions.
  • Achieved high precision and recall rates, exceeding 0.95 for most classes.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of the automated learning approach over manual methods.

Conclusions:

  • The novel REDEx algorithm offers an accurate and efficient method for extracting temporal information from clinical notes.
  • Automated learning of regular expressions is a promising approach for clinical text analysis.
  • This technology can enhance clinical decision-making and retrospective studies through improved data extraction.
