Cognitivism

1.7K
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

1.2K
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...

Reason and Intuition

6.9K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

112
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...

Gestalt Psychology01:14

Gestalt Psychology

781
Gestalt psychology, founded by Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wolfgang Kohler, emphasizes the importance of understanding perception as an organized whole. Developed as a counter to Wilhelm Wundt's structuralism, this approach posits that our perceptions are more than just the sum of sensory parts; they are comprehensive wholes where the relationships between parts define the perception. The principle "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" encapsulates this view,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Human Behavior
  • Cultural Dynamics

Background:

  • Psychology's historical and geographical scope is limited.
  • Current approaches are often ahistorical and geographically narrow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a transformation in psychology termed the chronospatial revolution.
  • To propose a research agenda integrating historical, cultural, and ecological factors.

Main Methods:

  • Identifying barriers to a historical and geographical approach in psychology (scope, data, synergy, theory).
  • Discussing the need for a more holistic and integrated research lens.

Main Results:

  • The chronospatial revolution aims to overcome current limitations in psychological science.
  • An integrated approach enriches the understanding of Homo sapiens and human psychology.

Conclusions:

  • Embedding psychology in time and space fosters a more globally representative and theoretically robust discipline.
  • This approach better accounts for cross-cultural diversity, historical change, and evolved psychological mechanisms.
