Cognitivism

1.4K
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...

Reason and Intuition

6.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

498
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...

Nonconscious mimicry occurs when individuals alter their mannerisms to match the behaviors and expressions of those nearby, without intention.

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

273
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...

Extrasensory Perception01:23

Extrasensory Perception

238
Extrasensory perception, or ESP, suggests the ability to perceive events beyond the conventional senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Parapsychologists, who research ESP and related psychic phenomena, categorize ESP into three main types: precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
Precognition involves foreseeing future events, such as predicting an accident before it happens. An example of precognition could be someone dreaming about a specific event, like a car crash, which then occurs...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Psychology has historically focused on individual mental processes.
  • Human development, mental health, and traits are profoundly influenced by social interaction.
  • Understanding the individual requires examining their social context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight methodological challenges in studying social interaction's impact on the mind.
  • To introduce emerging tools for advancing the science of interacting minds.
  • To advocate for a shift towards studying minds in their social context.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of traditional psychological methodologies.
  • Identification of limitations in studying dyadic and group interactions.
  • Overview of novel methodologies for capturing real-time social interactions.

Main Results:

  • Progress in understanding social cognition has been hindered by methodological limitations.
  • New tools are emerging to overcome these challenges.
  • Social interaction is a critical determinant of psychological phenomena.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of the human mind necessitates the study of social interaction.
  • Future psychological research must integrate social contexts.
  • Advancing the science of interacting minds requires innovative methodological approaches.
