Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

922
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...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

35.9K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Cognitivism01:17

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...

Perceptual Constancy01:12

Perceptual Constancy

1.1K
Perceptual constancy is the ability to recognize that objects remain consistent and unchanged even when their appearance varies due to changes in sensory input. There are four main types of perceptual constancy: size constancy, shape constancy, color constancy, and brightness constancy.
Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...

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...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

2.5K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Perception

Background:

  • Creativity is a critical component of expert performance across various fields, including sports.
  • Understanding the perceptual and cognitive underpinnings of creativity is essential for optimizing athletic development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the perceptual and cognitive processes associated with creative expert performance in soccer.
  • To differentiate the visual search and decision-making strategies of high- versus low-creative soccer players.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized video-based soccer scenarios with occlusion to assess player decision-making.
  • Measured creativity using originality, flexibility, and fluency of solutions.
  • Recorded visual search patterns using eye-movement tracking and cognitive processes via verbal reports.

Main Results:

  • High-creative players exhibited broader attentional focus, characterized by more fixations of shorter duration in a varied sequence to relevant display areas.
  • Players categorized as highly creative generated more verbalized thoughts related to situational assessment and future planning.
  • Differences in decision-making between high- and low-creative groups were linked to distinct visual search strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Expert creative performance in soccer is supported by specific perceptual-cognitive processes, particularly in visual search and attentional strategies.
  • Enhanced visual search and cognitive processing contribute to superior creative decision-making in skilled athletes.
  • Findings illuminate the mechanisms behind sport-specific creative expertise.
