Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

2.1K
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

Computer experience impacts cognitive test performance. A self-report measure of computer skills is recommended for correcting online cognitive tests, unlike performance-based measures which may affect results.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Computerized cognitive tests are increasingly used, but performance can be influenced by a user's computer experience.
  • Assessing and correcting for computer experience is crucial for accurate interpretation of cognitive test results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of computer experience on both online and traditional neuropsychological tests.
  • To determine the most appropriate method for correcting cognitive test performance for computer experience.

Main Methods:

  • 248 healthy adults completed an online neuropsychological test battery, and 70 completed traditional test equivalents.
  • Computer experience was measured using both performance-based and self-report assessments.
  • Regression analyses were employed to analyze the impact of computer experience on test performance.

Main Results:

  • A performance-based measure of computer experience correlated with online and traditional speed-based tests.
  • A self-report measure of computer experience was associated with speed-based online tests but not traditional tests.
  • Demographic factors were also considered in the analyses.

Conclusions:

  • Correcting computerized neuropsychological tests with performance-based computer experience measures is inadvisable as it may reflect cognitive abilities.
  • Utilizing a self-report measure for computer experience offers a more appropriate and potentially valid correction for online cognitive tests.
