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

799
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

371
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

1.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Neurology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Cognitive monitoring in multiple sclerosis (MS) presents challenges for detecting short-term changes.
  • Computerized cognitive batteries, like the CogState Brief Battery, offer rapid assessment of cognitive domains frequently affected in MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the acceptability and sensitivity of the CogState Brief Battery in MS patients compared to healthy controls.
  • To compare the 12-month sensitivity of the CogState Brief Battery against the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT).

Main Methods:

  • Compared demographic, clinical (EDSS), and psychological (depression, anxiety) data with cognitive test performances.
  • Assessed 51 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients, 19 secondary progressive MS (SPMS) patients, and 40 healthy controls.
  • Utilized linear mixed models to analyze longitudinal data from 37 RRMS patients over 12 months.

Main Results:

  • Both CogState Brief Battery and PASAT differentiated MS patients from controls at baseline.
  • CogState Brief Battery tasks demonstrated higher acceptability and lower anxiety induction than PASAT.
  • RRMS patients showed significant reaction time slowing on CogState Brief Battery tasks over 12 months, while PASAT scores remained stable.

Conclusions:

  • The CogState Brief Battery is a highly acceptable tool for assessing cognitive function in MS.
  • It exhibits superior sensitivity in detecting cognitive changes over 12 months compared to PASAT.
  • The CogState Brief Battery shows potential as a practical tool for cognitive monitoring in clinical MS settings.
