Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

469
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...

Decision Making: Traditional Method

4.0K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Decision Making

106
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

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...

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.3K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

237
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in computational cognitive modeling of decision-making lack theoretical integration.
  • Existing models often focus on specific domains without a unified framework.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To categorize Generative AI applications within cognitive models of decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a categorization framework for Generative AI in cognitive decision-making models.
  • Conducted an ablation study comparing models across three experimental paradigms.
  • Utilized Instance-Based Learning Theory as a foundation for model comparison.
  • Modeled human learning and decision-making using visual and natural language stimuli.

Main Results:

  • The best-performing model integrated generative components for memory representation and action prediction.
  • Generative models are crucial for both memory formation and action prediction in decision-modeling.
  • The study demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating generative and cognitive models.

Conclusions:

  • Generative AI offers significant potential for advancing computational cognitive modeling.
  • The proposed integrated model provides a robust approach to decision-making research.
  • Findings offer guidelines for researchers integrating Generative AI into cognitive and decision-making models.
