key words, cognitive approach Flashcards
define schema theory
its a theory that contains and organizes everything one knows about a certain stimulus.
seen as mental representations that organize our knowledge, beliefs and expectations.
what is the working memory model
is an elaboration of short term memory suggesting a number of components working together to process information.
give me two studies for the working memory model
- landry and bartling 2011
- case of KF shallice and warrington 1970.
study for schema
- Bartlett 1932
- Loftus and palmer 1974
define the dual processes model
highlight how intuitive and rational thinking are used when thinking and making decisions.
two systems
system 1 = intuitive, effortless, fast pased
system, 2 = rational, slowpaced, uses more effort and cognition
give me a study for dual processes model
wason 1968
what’s the adaptive decision maker framework
argues that people use a variety of strategies to make judgments and choices.
3 strategies of the admf
- weighted additive strategy
- lexicographic strategy - best possible outcome satisfying a pre-determined criterion.
- satisfying strategy - satisfactory or adequate result, rather than the optimal solution - because of a threshold point.
3 meta goals of admf
- reduce negative emotion (either experienced it or don’t wanna exierpeince it cuz other person has expeirnced it).
- reduce cognitive effort
- maximizing decision acuracy.
study for the admf
luce, bettman, payne 1997 - mouselab task, if u pick one others get none, reduce neg emotions.
define reconstructive memory
memory is encoded in peices and not complete coherent wholes, thus the retrieval of information may be influenced and not fully accurate.
studies for reconstructive memory
- Loftus and palmer 1974
- Bartlett 1932.
define conformation bias
tendency to seek out information to confirm what you already believe.
study - wason 1968
define anchoring bias
causes us to rely heavily on the first piece of information we are given about a topic.
study: Tversky and kahneman - framing effect 1986
define flashbulb memories
a memory in which one first learns about a highly surprising and highly consequential event, which causes this memory to be extremely vivid.
