Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

8.4K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

930
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...

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

351
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

651
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 Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion01:17

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

1.8K
Richard Lazarus' cognitive mediational theory highlights the pivotal role of cognitive appraisal in shaping emotional responses. According to this theory, the evaluation of a stimulus — based on personal values, goals, beliefs, and expectations — mediates the emotional response. This appraisal process is immediate and often occurs unconsciously, influencing the intensity and nature of the resulting emotion.
Cognitive Appraisal and Emotional Response
Lazarus proposed that...

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

720
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Educational Measurement
  • Latent Variable Modeling

Background:

  • Cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) infer latent attributes from test responses.
  • Sparse latent class models (SLCMs) are used for exploratory analysis of latent structures.
  • Existing identifiability conditions for SLCMs can be restrictive in practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish new theoretical results for generic identifiability of SLCM parameters.
  • To develop a practical Bayesian variable selection algorithm for SLCMs.
  • To improve the accuracy and applicability of latent structure inference in educational and psychological assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of new sufficient conditions for generic identifiability of SLCM parameters.
  • Development of a Bayesian variable selection algorithm enforcing identifiability and monotonicity.
  • Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods.

Main Results:

  • New generic identifiability conditions are more likely to be met in empirical studies than strict identifiability conditions.
  • The proposed Bayesian algorithm ensures valid posterior inference by enforcing identifiability and monotonicity.
  • Simulation results demonstrate accurate inference for latent structure and parameters.

Conclusions:

  • The findings offer more practical theoretical conditions for SLCMs in cognitive diagnostic applications.
  • The new algorithm facilitates robust latent structure discovery and analysis in educational testing.
  • This research advances SLCM methodology for improved understanding of underlying cognitive processes.
