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...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

480
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...

Information Processing Approach

37
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Neuroplasticity01:01

Neuroplasticity

352
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Neuronal Communication01:28

Neuronal Communication

900
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Neural Circuits01:25

Neural Circuits

1.2K
Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • The entorhinal cortex and hippocampus form a critical recurrent network for cognition.
  • Neural recordings show spatially organized codes related to environments and abstract spaces.
  • A key challenge is linking cognitive functions to neural activity in the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit (EHC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and theoretically integrate complex spatiotemporal dynamics of hippocampal reactivations.
  • To explore the apparent lack of physical simulative realism in these neural dynamics.
  • To propose neural circuit mechanisms explaining this complexity as markers of cognitive computations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of disparate experimental findings on hippocampal reactivations.
  • Integration of observations within a theoretical framework.
  • Proposal of neural circuit mechanisms for microdynamic regimes.

Main Results:

  • Hippocampal reactivations exhibit complex and seemingly disordered spatiotemporal dynamics.
  • These dynamics are prominent during immobile pauses and rest.
  • The complexity may not directly simulate external environments.

Conclusions:

  • Hippocampal microdynamics during rest are complex and potentially non-simulative.
  • These complex dynamics can be normatively characterized as neuromarkers for diverse cognitive computations.
  • Understanding these patterns offers insights into memory, navigation, and imagination.
