    Cognitivism01:17

    Cognitivism

    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 information is...
    Visual System01:26

    Visual System

    Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
    Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...
    Parallel Processing01:20

    Parallel Processing

    The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

    Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

    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...
    Encoding01:19

    Encoding

    Information enters the brain through encoding, which is the input of information into the memory system. Once sensory information is received from the environment, the brain labels or codes it. The information is then organized with similar information and connected to existing concepts. Encoding occurs through automatic processing and effortful processing.
    Automatic processing involves the encoding of details like time, space, frequency, and the meaning of words, usually done without conscious...

    Symbolic Understanding I: Pictorial Competence

    Symbolic understanding is the ability to use symbols, such as words, gestures, or images, to represent objects, people, and concepts that may not be physically present. An important part of this ability is pictorial competence, or the understanding that a picture represents something other than itself. For example, recognizing a yellow circle with rays as the sun shows pictorial competence.Early Responses to PicturesSome foundations of pictorial understanding appear early in infancy. By about...
