False Memories01:18

False Memories

83
False memories represent a cognitive distortion in which individuals recall events that did not happen, or remember them in an altered form. This phenomenon highlights the brain's constructive nature in processing and recalling memories, emphasizing that memory is not a perfect representation of past events but rather a dynamic reconstruction influenced by various factors.
One primary source of false memories is misattribution, where individuals incorrectly associate external information...

Beck's Cognitive Therapy

46
Cognitive therapy is a psychological approach designed to address distortions in thinking, which can lead to negative emotions and unrealistic beliefs. These cognitive distortions often influence how individuals interpret and respond to situations, exacerbating emotional distress. Below are some prevalent cognitive distortions, their characteristics, and examples of how they manifest in thought processes.

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...

Cognitive Theories: Schachter-Singer Theory of Emotion

373
Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer proposed the two-factor theory of emotion, which emphasizes the interplay between physiological arousal and cognitive labeling in forming emotional experiences. This theory suggests that emotions are not simply a result of physiological responses but rather a combination of these responses and the individual's cognitive interpretation of them.
Physiological Arousal and Cognitive Labeling
According to this theory, when an individual experiences...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

152
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Summary

False feedback on cognitive abilities had a variable effect on subsequent executive function task performance. The impact of this feedback depends on the specific task and individual factors.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Self-beliefs and external feedback can influence task performance.
  • The impact of false cognitive feedback on executive functions remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how false negative feedback about cognition affects decision-making and executive function task performance.
  • To examine the extent of this influence across different cognitive tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted involving participants receiving false feedback (high or low) on creative intelligence or general cognition.
  • Participants then completed various decision-making and executive function assessments.

Main Results:

  • Limited evidence of a consistent pattern in how false feedback impacts cognitive performance was found.
  • Both positive and negative feedback influenced performance on specific tasks, but not consistently across all.

Conclusions:

  • The effect of false feedback on cognitive performance is variable, depending on the specific executive function and task.
  • Clinical implications include considering how patients internalize feedback, which can interact with insight and other factors to shape interpretations.
