Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

2.0K
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...

Critical Thinking01:19

Critical Thinking

886
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

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...

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Area of Science:

  • STEM Education
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Computational thinking (CT) is increasingly recognized as vital for 21st-century learning.
  • The term 'computational thinking' is often narrowly associated with computer science, potentially limiting its perceived scope.

Discussion:

  • This editorial examines CT as a theoretical construct with multifaceted dimensions.
  • It emphasizes CT as a universal problem-solving framework applicable across various disciplines.
  • The discussion highlights the importance of understanding CT beyond its computational origins.

Key Insights:

  • Computational thinking is a complex, multi-faceted concept.
  • CT is essential for all students, not just those in computer science or mathematics.
  • The model of thinking presented is applicable across STEM fields and integrated STEM education.

Outlook:

  • Further research into the pedagogical integration of CT across diverse STEM subjects is warranted.
  • Exploring the transferability of CT skills to non-STEM disciplines could broaden its impact.
  • Developing standardized frameworks for assessing CT in educational settings is a future direction.
