Lesson 5 Flashcards
paints a vibrant picture of our mental landscape. It examines how we perceive information, store it in memory, manipulate it through thought, and ultimately shape it into knowledge.
Cognitive science
Interdisciplinary field explaining how the mind works.
Cognitive Science
Attention, memory, language, decision-making, and problem-solving
Cognitive Processes
Perception, Experience, learning and education
Knowledge sources
This plays a key role guiding the development of
tools and systems that resonate with how nurses think and function. Examples include
clinical decision support systems that offer evidence-based recommendations, patient
education tools that cater to different learning styles, and telehealth platforms that facilitate
effective remote communication.
Cognitive informatics
Applies cognitive science principles to technology design.
Cognitive informatics
Optimizes data, information, and technology for nursing practice
Nursing Informatics
Cognitive informatics is a relatively new area of multidisciplinary study that involves
human information processing and how these processes and mechanisms relate to computing and computer application
The primary goal of Nursing Informatics is
to develop computing systems that work best with how humans process information, creating a more seamless human-system integration.
______________ 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.
System designs
Understanding how the human brain works is certainly not a recent human endeavor,
as noted by ___________, director of the International Center for Cognitive Informatics. Philosophers from all cultures have attempted for centuries to think about how we think. It’s an issue that involves every person on the planet.
Yingxu Wang
T or F : Most scientists now see information processing as one of three ways that humans
model the natural world, the others being matter and energy, according to Wang.
Both matter and energy model the physical, concrete world. Information is used to
model the abstract world of perception and ideas.
True
The basis of cognitive informatics is an ____________ that includes input from areas such as psychology/behavioral science, neuroscience, artificial
intelligence and linguistics.
interdisciplinary approach
computers learn and
improve by analyzing data without needing specific instructions
machine learning
a subset of
machine learning, utilizes complex algorithms modeled after the brain’s neural networks,
unlocking powerful capabilities for pattern recognition and prediction.
Deep learning
AI simulates ________________________. Machine Learning enables computers to
l_____________________________and Deep Learning is a powerful learning algorithms
inspired by the brain’s structure.
Human Intelligence
Learn without specific programming
Examining the Relationship Between Cognitive Science and AI
Reason 1:
Reason 2:
Reason 1: Al mimicking human cognition through learning, recognizing patterns, making decisions.
Reason 2: Challenges are ethical considerations, transparency, bias, limited understanding of human emotions and potential benefite 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
