- Cognitive Approach
- Approaches
- Computer analogy
- We input, process and ouput information like computers.
- Reconstructive memory
- Memory is reconstructed not reproduced. This means it can change- parts can be forgotten
- Mediational Processes
- stimulus - mediational processes - response. A mediational response is schema, priming and script
- schema- mental packages that create shortcuts. Gained through experience. Categorises information- makes shortcuts.
- Priming- when you see one stimulus, it affects your response to when it appears agin. It speeds up response.
- Scripts- Learned through experience. Recall information of how to react in a situation.
- stimulus - mediational processes - response. A mediational response is schema, priming and script
- Computer analogy
- Memory
- Shortening
- Parts that don't fit with schema are left out so what you remember is shorter
- Rationalisation
- Recalled but parts that don't fit with schema are distorted so that they make sense
- Confabulation
- Parts are made up to fill in gaps in memory. This fits with your schema
- Shortening
- Types of priming
- Repetition
- You encounter the prime, if you encounter it agian, it will speed up response
- Semantic
- 2 Stimuli have similar features. Like laptop and computer.
- Associative
- Prie and later stimulus are related but not semantically. They are paired together. Like fish and chips.
- Repetition
- Gender
- Kohlberg theory
- Gender is decided through ages 2-6. 3 stages. As soon as they fit into a group, they behvae according to this in-group
- Scripts
- Once gender script (and schema) is learnt, children lose interest in the other gender. They focus on their gender's behaviour.
- Kohlberg theory
- Aggression
- Priming
- Exposure to a stimulus can influence how humans respond to a subsequent stimulus. eg video games
- Hostile attribution bias
- React aggressively if they think someone is going to do something to them. Defense.
- Priming
- Cognitive bias
- Confirmation bias
- Favouring information that confirms your belief or biases. Stop gathering information after this.
- Hostile attribution bias
- Identifies others behaviour is hostile even when ambiguous. React aggressively back.
- Fundamental attribution error
- Tendency to overemphasis dispositional factors while ignoring situational. Not thinking about reasons behind actions.
- Confirmation bias
- Approaches
