- Cognitive Approach
- Assumptions
- influenced by developments in computer science --> computer models = brain works
- neccessary to look @ internal mental process to understand beh --> actions
- studies process : perception, memory, thinking, problem solving
- focus how ppl see,store, manipulate & interpret info
- input = store = output
- mind works like computer
- Theoretical model
- info go throu sequence stages
- Input storage retrieval output
- info go throu sequence stages
- Computer model
- Central processing unit (brain) = store hold info using coding to put in useful format
- proved development of thinking machines = AI
- Role of Schema
- mental framework of interpretation of info received by cog system
- help process lot of info quickly = mental short cut = not be overwhelmed by env'tal stimuli = info distort
- learned throu experience = package of knowledge = respond appropriately
- older schema more deats & sophisticated = representation of everything = eg what happens in restaurant
- babies = motor schema = innate beh = co=ord = innate beh & visual input = sucking/grasp
- mental framework of interpretation of info received by cog system
- Emergence of cog neuroscience
- scanning
- fMRI &PET = systemically observe & describe neurological basis of mental process
- research needs episodoci & semantic memory = differ LTM opposite sides of pre=frontal cortex & CE in WMM
- est. neurological basis of some mental disorders
- fMRI &PET = systemically observe & describe neurological basis of mental process
- role of unpleasant emotions = parahippocampal gyrus & OCD
- focus on models that read brain = fingerprinting = analyse brain wave
- scanning
- Evaluation:
- real life application
- dominant approach & applied to range contexts = AI robot development rev. future
- machine reduction-ism
- ignores influence of human emotion motivation on cog system = affect process info ability = anxiety on eye witness = change ans cos of consequence = DC
- Less deterministic than rest
- free to think what we know before respond = interactionist position = soft deterministic = only operate w/in what we know = not like others = hard determinism
- Scientific & Objective methods
- highly controlled tests = infer cog process, reliable, obj data &est credible scientific basis = allow bio & cog come together
- Application to everyday life
- only infer mental process from beh observed = too abstract, low eco validity = AS = word list = not how memory works
- real life application
- Assumptions
