Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

2.9K
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...

Natural and Artificial Concepts

636
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

295
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...

Intelligence

8.9K
The term "intelligence" is complex because it refers to both behavior and individuals, and its interpretation varies across cultures. European Americans tend to link intelligence with reasoning and cognitive skills, while in Kenya, it is tied to responsible participation in family and social life. In Uganda, intelligence is seen as the ability to know the right actions and carry them out effectively, while the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea associate it with the capacity to remember...

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

7.6K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.6K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Artificial plants in oncology waiting rooms were well-received by patients, staff, and carers, improving the environment. Most participants accepted these green features as a positive alternative to no plants, despite a preference for living plants.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Psychology
  • Healthcare Design
  • Oncology Patient Experience

Background:

  • Waiting rooms in oncology clinics can be stressful environments for patients, staff, and carers.
  • Enhancing the waiting room environment may positively influence the overall patient experience.
  • Artificial plant installations offer a low-maintenance approach to introducing biophilic design elements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of an environmental intervention using artificial plants in an oncology waiting room.
  • To evaluate the acceptability and perceptions of artificial plant materials among patients, staff, and carers.
  • To understand the overall response to greenery in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted post-intervention in an Australian oncology outpatient clinic waiting room.
  • Participants (N=143) included cancer patients, clinic staff, and carers.
  • Observer ratings and participant surveys assessed responses to artificial plant arrangements, green walls, and a rock garden.

Main Results:

  • 81% noticed the artificial greenery, and 67% identified them as artificial.
  • 81% reported a positive initial reaction, with 71% feeling positively or very positively affected.
  • While 62% preferred living plants, 76% agreed that artificial plants are better than none, and 81% felt they brightened the space.

Conclusions:

  • The introduction of artificial plants significantly improved the perceived oncology waiting room environment.
  • Patients, staff, and carers largely accepted artificial plants as a viable design solution.
  • Environmental interventions with artificial greenery can positively influence the experience in healthcare settings.
