Cognitivism

3.2K
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...

Introspection01:29

Introspection

370
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

962
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,...

Beck's Cognitive Therapy

445
Cognitive therapy is a psychological approach designed to address distortions in thinking, which can lead to negative emotions and unrealistic beliefs. These cognitive distortions often influence how individuals interpret and respond to situations, exacerbating emotional distress. Below are some prevalent cognitive distortions, their characteristics, and examples of how they manifest in thought processes.

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

2.2K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Prior experience with the cognitive reflection test (CRT) does not diminish its predictive validity. Even though people with prior CRT exposure score higher, the test remains a reliable measure of analytical reasoning.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The cognitive reflection test (CRT) measures analytical reasoning versus intuition.
  • CRT problems are designed to elicit intuitive yet incorrect answers.
  • Prior experience with CRT may inflate scores, raising concerns about its predictive validity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether prior experience with the CRT undermines its predictive validity.
  • To examine the impact of repeated exposure on CRT performance and its relationship with other variables.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted six studies with approximately 2,500 participants.
  • Assessed the predictive power of the CRT across 17 diverse variables.
  • Replicated findings of increased accuracy with prior CRT experience.

Main Results:

  • No significant undermining of CRT predictive power was found despite repeated exposure.
  • Individuals with prior CRT experience consistently scored higher on the test.
  • The CRT's predictive validity remained robust across various measures, including religious belief, bullshit receptivity, and numeracy.

Conclusions:

  • The cognitive reflection test (CRT) maintains its predictive validity even after repeated exposure.
  • Less reflective individuals may not recognize that repeated exposure provides information about the task's difficulty.
  • The CRT remains a valuable tool for assessing analytical reasoning propensity.
