Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

141
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Steps in the Modeling Process

302
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

40.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

27.1K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

366
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Summary

Focusing on a task can cause you to miss environmental changes. This study shows that rare sound changes slow evidence accumulation, linked to brain responses (ERPs), suggesting attention momentarily diverts to evaluate unexpected stimuli.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Auditory Perception

Background:

  • Sustained attention is crucial but can lead to overlooking environmental changes.
  • Monitoring non-task information is essential to mitigate risks associated with focused attention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how attentional focus interacts with environmental monitoring.
  • To model cognitive processes underlying performance in an auditory task with varying distraction levels.

Main Methods:

  • Applied a latent cognitive variable model to data from a two-alternative forced-choice auditory task.
  • Utilized an adaptive procedure to create two difficulty levels (high/low accuracy).
  • Presented auditory stimuli in rare (oddball) and common (multistandard) frequency change conditions, recording auditory event-related potentials (ERPs).

Main Results:

  • Rare frequency changes (oddball condition) induced distraction effects, attributed to slowed evidence accumulation.
  • Cognitive modeling (linear ballistic accumulator) linked these delays to N2/mismatch negativity and P300 ERP components.
  • Trials following rare changes showed increased response times, associated with cautious decision-making.

Conclusions:

  • Behavioral and ERP measures can map to latent cognitive processes.
  • Performance is influenced by a momentary diversion of resources to evaluate deviant auditory features.
  • Findings support models of attention involving resource allocation and prediction updating.
