Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

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 categorization, a person will feel...
Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated, individuals become less...
Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a bonus...
Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Cognitive stimulation programs use task bundles to engage users and target cognitive domains.
  • Task order and inherent difficulty are often overlooked factors in program design.
  • This study focuses on the BOX semantic-based program adapted for the Cerup/CQ online platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine user performance accuracy across eight tasks within the BOX program.
  • To map tasks by increasing challenge levels within thematic clusters.
  • To provide guidance for personalized task selection in cognitive stimulation.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted the BOX program into Portuguese for the Cerup and CQ web-based platforms.
  • Recruited older adults without dementia for cognitive stimulation using the platforms.
  • Analyzed accuracy data based on task complexity, level (sentence vs. word), and user selection patterns.

Main Results:

  • Task characteristics significantly influenced user performance accuracy, highlighting varied difficulty levels.
  • Users' spontaneous task selection showed no pattern related to success, only button proximity.
  • Optimal navigation paths for the eight tasks were defined based on performance data.

Conclusions:

  • Active, challenge-based guidance for task selection is necessary for BOX/Cerup/CQ programs.
  • The developed methodology can improve user experience and optimize task progression in similar programs.
  • Personalized task sequencing enhances the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation interventions.
