    Cognitive Chapter 1: Problem-Solving, Reasoning, Etc

    Uploaded by

    Amrutha Swathi Priya
    Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes including memory, language, problem-solving, and reasoning. There are two main approaches: the information processing approach models the mind as serial stages like a computer, while connectionism models parallel processing based on brain function. Cognitive neuroscience searches for the brain basis of cognition. Cognitive science takes an interdisciplinary approach involving psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and artificial intelligence.

    Cognitive Chapter 1

    Defining Cog Psy: Scientific study of human mental processes including: memory, language,
    problem-solving, reasoning, etc.
    Info Processing Approach: based on computer analogy: step by step (process) model.
    Features: serial; independent, non-overlapping stages.

    Connectionism or PDP approach to mind: Modeling cognitive processes based on brain


    function.
    Parallel processing
    Context or priming effects challenge independent/non-overlapping assumptions

    Cognitive Neuroscience: search for brain basis of cognition
