Cognitivism

2.6K
Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process...

False Memories01:18

False Memories

323
False memories represent a cognitive distortion in which individuals recall events that did not happen, or remember them in an altered form. This phenomenon highlights the brain's constructive nature in processing and recalling memories, emphasizing that memory is not a perfect representation of past events but rather a dynamic reconstruction influenced by various factors.
One primary source of false memories is misattribution, where individuals incorrectly associate external information...

Cognitive Therapy

714
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...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

150
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology01:20

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...

Beck's Cognitive Therapy

281
Cognitive therapy is a psychological approach designed to address distortions in thinking, which can lead to negative emotions and unrealistic beliefs. These cognitive distortions often influence how individuals interpret and respond to situations, exacerbating emotional distress. Below are some prevalent cognitive distortions, their characteristics, and examples of how they manifest in thought processes.

Summary

History offers insights into decision-making by showing how cultural and cognitive factors interact. Understanding the evolving meanings of "problem" and "solution" in historical contexts refines resource-rational models.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Decision-Making Theory
  • Cultural History

Background:

  • The resource-rational model explains decision-making under constraints.
  • Cultural and cognitive forces significantly influence human choices.
  • Historical analysis provides a unique lens to study these influences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To refine the resource-rational model using historical perspectives.
  • To investigate the interplay of cultural and cognitive forces in decision-making.
  • To understand how the meaning of decision-making concepts evolves.

Main Methods:

  • Historical case studies examining decision-making processes.
  • Analysis of semantic shifts in key decision-making terminology (e.g., 'problem', 'solution').
  • Comparative cultural context analysis.

Main Results:

  • Historical analysis reveals dynamic cultural and cognitive influences on decision-making.
  • The meanings of 'problem' and 'solution' are shown to be historically contingent.
  • Perceptions of the decision-making process are demonstrably shaped by cultural context.

Conclusions:

  • History is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of decision-making models.
  • The resource-rational model can be enhanced by incorporating historical and cultural dynamics.
  • Decision-making is not static but evolves with cultural and cognitive shifts.
