Cognitivism

Cognitivism

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...

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

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...

Background:

Hearing loss is associated with variations in executive functions, including inhibitory control and working memory.
There is increasing research interest in cognitive processing and consolidation in deaf populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To review executive functions in deaf individuals.
To explore the potential of technological devices for assessing cognition in deaf people.
To identify technological tools for evaluating cognitive domains.

Main Methods:

Literature review of research on cognition in deaf people.
Identification of technological devices (biometric, digital, physical interfaces, software) for cognitive assessment.
Analysis of how technology can complement traditional neuropsychological assessments.

Main Results:

Various technologies, including biometric devices and software, are being designed or adapted to assess cognitive domains in deaf individuals.
The reviewed literature indicates a need for deeper understanding of cognitive phenomena impacting deaf populations.
Technological assessment offers a novel approach to complement traditional methods.

Conclusions:

Further research in the Cognitive Science of Hearing is relevant for understanding deaf cognition.
Utilizing technology to measure cognitive functions in deaf individuals can inform educational and therapeutic interventions.
Developing and adapting technology is key to better understanding and supporting cognitive development in deaf people.
