Introduction to Cognitive Psychology01:20

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

479
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...

Non-equilibrium in the Cell01:16

Non-equilibrium in the Cell

4.4K
An important concept in studying metabolism and energy is that of chemical equilibrium. Most chemical reactions are reversible. They can proceed in both directions, releasing energy into their environment in one direction, and absorbing it from the environment in the other direction. The same is true for the chemical reactions involved in cell metabolism, such as the breaking down and building up of proteins into and from individual amino acids, respectively. Reactants within a closed system...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Natural and Artificial Concepts

155
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

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...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

31
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Human-Robot Interaction

Background:

  • Current industrial/service robotics trends focus on human-robot cooperation, essential for the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions (4IR, 5IR).
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often cited as the source of intelligence for these systems, but this claim lacks robust scientific evidence and relies on a disembodied, Cartesian mind-body dualism.
  • Existing AI robotics often follows a disembodied approach, mirroring the hardware-software distinction in traditional computing architectures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel approach, Artificial Cognition (ACo), for developing next-generation autonomous robotic agents with advanced cognitive capabilities.
  • To advocate for a brain-inspired, embodied cognitive framework that integrates 'Bodyware' and 'Cogniware', moving beyond mind-body dualism.
  • To enhance generalization, explainability, and human-robot trust through proactive knowledge acquisition and bidirectional interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Adopting a fully brain-inspired, embodied cognitive approach grounded in Cognitive Neuroscience.
  • Focusing on proactive knowledge acquisition through bidirectional human-robot interaction.
  • Integrating principles from developmental robotics, action representation with prospection, and social interaction within a unitary framework.

Main Results:

  • The proposed Artificial Cognition (ACo) approach aims to overcome the limitations of current disembodied AI in robotics.
  • ACo facilitates proactive knowledge acquisition, enhancing generalization and explainability in robotic agents.
  • It fosters a brain-inspired network for human-robot cooperation, building trust and reciprocal accountability, which is currently lacking in AI.

Conclusions:

  • The next generation of autonomous robotic agents requires a shift from disembodied AI to an embodied, brain-inspired Artificial Cognition (ACo) approach.
  • ACo, by integrating body and cognition, offers a path toward more generalizable, explainable, and trustworthy human-robot interaction.
  • Further research integrating developmental robotics, action representation, and social interaction is crucial for advancing ACo.
