- Suggests info flows through the cognitive system in sequence
- INPUT-STORAGE-RETIVAL
- Suggests info flows through the cognitive system in sequence
- Computer compared to the mind
- Central Processing Unit (brain), coding (format), and stores
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- influence of brain structures on mental processes
- mapping the brain-damages can impair speech
- Last 20yrs systematically observed, scanning tech important in establishing basis of mental disorders
- Models, development of mind mapping
- Positives
- Scientific and Objective Methods- always employ highly controlled and rigorous methods to allow to infer. Lab experiments produce reliable, objective data, credible scientific basis of biology and psychology
- Real Life Application- dominant approach applied to a range of practical and theoretical contexts. Artificial intelligence
- Less Determinist than ofther approaches- soft determinism cognitive system operates within the limits of what we know but free to thinkbefore we respond to stimuli. More reasonable.
- Negatives
- Machine Reduction- although some similarities between the mind and a computer, been criticized gnores human emotion and how this effects processing.
- Application to everyday life- only able to infer mental processes from behavior they observe. Too abstract and theoretical. Most use artificial stimuli. Lack external validity.
