Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

36.8K
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

746
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

947
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

312
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

2.3K
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
  • Gerontology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Cognitive decline is a significant nonmotor symptom in Parkinson disease (PD).
  • Current nonpharmacological cognitive training options for PD are limited and often lack engaging elements.
  • Gamification may enhance patient adherence and therapeutic outcomes in cognitive training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To raise awareness about the potential of gamified cognitive training for Parkinson disease patients.
  • To highlight the importance of personalization and cocreation in developing health games.
  • To present case studies of self-invented cognitive gaming in PD patients.

Main Methods:

  • Description of three distinct self-invented cognitive gaming approaches used by PD patients.
  • Inclusion of personalization and gamification elements in the described training methods.
  • Presentation of recruitment results from a cognitive game trial to assess broader interest.

Main Results:

  • Case studies demonstrated PD patients' awareness of cognitive decline and their proactive search for training tools.
  • Recruitment for a cognitive game trial indicated significant interest in gamified cognitive training within the PD population.
  • Gamification shows potential to enhance personalization and adherence in PD therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Self-invented cognitive games incorporating gamification and personalization show promise for PD patients.
  • There appears to be a substantial interest in gamified cognitive training among a larger Parkinson disease population.
  • Further development and evaluation of gamified cognitive training are warranted to address an unmet need in PD management.
