Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

2.8K
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...

Cognitivism

3.1K
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...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

1.4K
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...

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

1.0K
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
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...

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

270
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...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Cognitive Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Safe integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) requires interaction with human drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
  • Driving involves complex joint actions and social negotiation over shared road space.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate autonomous driving as a test case for computational theories of social interaction.
  • To highlight the implications of social interaction research for autonomous vehicle development.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of driving as a social negotiation problem.
  • Framework development for computational social interaction models applicable to AVs.

Main Results:

  • Autonomous driving necessitates the development of sophisticated social negotiation capabilities.
  • The challenges of AV interaction provide a unique empirical ground for social science theories.

Conclusions:

  • Autonomous driving research can significantly advance computational theories of social interaction.
  • Addressing social interaction is fundamental for the successful development and deployment of autonomous vehicles.
