Cognitive Science as a Building Block of Nursing Informatics Flashcards
paints a vibrant picture of our mental landscape
Cognitive science
It examines how we perceive information, store it in memory, manipulate it through thought, and ultimately shape it into knowledge.
Cognitive science
Interdisciplinary field exploring how the mind works
Cognitive science
Attention, memory, language, decision-making, problem-solving
Cognitive Processes
Perception, experience, learning, education
Knowledge sources
Applies cognitive science principles to technology design
Cognitive Informatics
Optimizes data, information, and technology for nursing practice
Nursing Informatics
is a relatively new area of multidisciplinary study that involves human information processing and how those processes and mechanisms relate to computing and computer application
Cognitive Informatics
The primary goal of cognitive informatics is to
develop computing systems that work best with how humans process information, creating more seamless human systems integration
are adept at circumventing potential bottlenecks that could hinder human information processing.
System designs
System designs are adept at circumventing potential bottlenecks that could hinder human information processing. These include restrictions in
attention span, memory capacity, learning speed, comprehension levels, visualization capabilities, and decision-making prowess.
Understanding how the human brain works is certainly not a recent human endeavor, as noted by ________________, director of the ______________________________________________

can create a set of fundamental theories that create the foundation for information and knowledge-based science and engineering disciplines such as “computer science, cognitive science, neuropsychology, systems science, cybernetics, computer/software engineering, and knowledge engineering,” according to Wang.
cognitive informatics
Applications:
Clinical decision support systems, patient education tools, telehealth platforms
It encompasses different techniques, such as machine learning, where computers learn and improve by analyzing data without needing specific instructions.
Artificial intelligence
a subset of machine learning
Deep learning
utilizes complex algorithms modeled after the brain’s neural networks, unlocking powerful capabilities for pattern recognition and prediction
Deep learning
AI simulates
human intelligence
Machine Learning enables computers to
learn without explicit programming
is a powerful learning algorithms inspired by the brain’s structure.
Deep Learning
challenges of AI
ethical considerations, transparency, bias, limited understanding of human emotions
Examining the Relationship Between Cognitive Science and AI
Reason 1: AI mimicking human cognition through learning, recognizing patterns, making decisions
Reason 2: challenges are ethical considerations, transparency, bias, limited understanding of human emotions, and potential benefits are personalized care, early disease detection, workload reduction
potential benefits are
personalized care, early disease detection, workload reduction
The Future of Cognitive Science and Nursing Informatics
- Continuous development
- Personalized and Predictive Care
- Collaboration and Ethical Consideration
