Q

related computer model to info processing psych

A

human info processing = sequences of computational processes operating on mental representations

eg: img / goal @ given pt,

plan a,b,c / response

tote - test operatetest exit - work or not, if not then go back to plan for next plan

Q

gestalt application to higher mental processes challenged behaviorism further: bruner, goodnow, austin

A

pple learn thru STRATEGIES not just associations

matched w info processing approach

17
Q

cognitive studies @ havard: bruner & miller

A

mind similar to computer

18
Q

cognitive psych makes comeback in previously neglected ideas

A

pattern recognition, atention

cateogrization

memory

reasoning

decision making

problem solving

language

19
Q

what does cognition involve

A

all processes by which sensory input is transfomred, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, used even in absence of relevant physical stimuli like hallucinations

20
Q

growth of ocgnitive psych : pattern recognition: how pple perceive and recognize objects -> 2 stages of recognition

A

1 describe input object primitively

eg 2 diagonal lines n 1 horizontal line connecting em

2 match primitive description to stored object descriptions in memory to retrieve whatever best matches letter A

ie see smthg as individual parts then holistically in memory

21
Q

growth in cognitive psych: memory models: multi store model

A

uses rxn time to identify problems @ diff stages of memory

22
Q

growth of cognitive psych subfield: new psycholinguistics: collins quillian

A

semantic knowledge organized in hierarchy

23
Q

how does collins & quillian semantic hierarchy worl

A

pp asked simple question bout meaning of word,

the greater the categorical diff bw defintions - the longer it took to answer

24
Q

memory n language: anderson n bower : intersection of memory n language

A

network models of memory for linguistics

HAM

25
Q

whats the ham model

A

combine info processing w linguistics and AI

26
Q

how r concepts represented in mind

A

early models: in terms of language

mental imgs

27
Q

new directions in relating mental processes to brain structures: connectionist modeling

A

neuroscience

28
Q

newer directions: cognitive neuroscience: link mental processes w physical brain structures

what 3 factors contributed to cognitive neuroscience

A

1 connectionist models

2 new neurological research of role of formation of memories and dual system visual perception (ategorizing brain location w func/)

3 methodological advancements, neuroimging- arouse brain to see where func/ - structures heavily involved w func/s

29
Q

neuroimging seen as …

A

new age phrenologists?

30
Q

consciousness redefined as…

A

cognition bcc sounds more scientific lol

31
Q

cognitive revolution consists of cellular explanation of…

A

consciousness

32
Q

neuropsychologists interested in…

A

brain anatomy n structure

33
Q

cognitive psychologists focus on…

A

abstract models of mind as info processor

34
Q

cognitive psychologist + neuropsychologist =
