Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Language and Cognition

801
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

1.0K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Cognition and Behavior

376
Social psychology examines the complex interplay between individual mental processes and social interactions. Historically, the field was divided into two domains: social behavior and social cognition. Researchers focusing on social behavior analyzed actions within social contexts, such as conformity, aggression, or cooperation. Meanwhile, social cognition researchers investigated how people perceive, interpret, and mentally represent their social environments. However, modern perspectives no...

Cognitive Learning

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...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

2.4K
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...

Summary

Cancer treatments improve survival but can cause cognitive changes. Research identifies risk factors for cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in adults and children, aiding in better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Neuroscience
  • Cancer Survivorship

Background:

  • Cancer treatments significantly improve patient survival rates.
  • Cognitive changes, known as cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), are a common side effect for both cancer patients and survivors.
  • CRCI affects adults and children with both central nervous system (CNS) and non-CNS tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current understanding of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI).
  • To identify risk factors associated with CRCI in adult and pediatric cancer patients.
  • To highlight the need for further research to improve outcomes for cancer survivors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on CRCI in cancer patients.
  • Analysis of reported cognitive changes, including memory, executive function, attention, and processing speed.
  • Identification and categorization of risk factors for CRCI in different patient populations.

Main Results:

  • CRCI can occur in up to 30% of patients before treatment and 75% during treatment.
  • Specific risk factors for adults include cognitive reserve, age, genetics, and ethnicity.
  • Risk factors in children include genetics, sex, age at diagnosis, chemotherapy dose, and radiation dose/field size.

Conclusions:

  • CRCI is a significant concern for cancer patients and survivors.
  • Understanding individual risk factors is crucial for targeted interventions.
  • Continued research is essential to enhance cognitive function and quality of life for all cancer survivors.
