PRELIM 2 Flashcards
Studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior from an information-processing perspective
Its focus covers memory, attention, perception, reasoning, language, mental ability, and computational models of cognitive processes.
Simply, the study of the mind and how information is processed in the mind.
Cognitive Science
A component of cognitive science that uses computer modeling through artificial neural networks to explain human intellectual abilities.
Connectionism
What are the three sources of knowledge?
Instinct, reason, intuition
> “collects facts, generalizes, reasons out from cause to effect, from effect to cause, from premises to conclusions, from propositions to proofs” (Sivananda, 2017, para. 4)
Found only in humans
Reason
> When one reacts without reason
Found both in human and animals
Instinct
> Is a way of acquiring knowledge that cannot be obtained by inference, deduction, observation, reason, analysis, or experience
Described by Aristotle as “[a] leap of understanding, a grasping of a larger concept unreachable by other intellectual means, yet fundamentally an intellectual process” (Shallcross & Sisk, 1989, as cited in Arnold, n.d.)
Found only in humans
Intuition
- is “[a] science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration: the science of the formal principles of reasoning” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.)
Logic
- is the process of acquiring knowledge about the environment or situation by obtaining, interpreting, selecting, and organizing sensory information from seeing, hearing, touching, and tasting.
Perception
– is the study of the nature and origin of knowledge, that is, what it means to know.
Epistemology
An emerging transdisciplinary field of study that bridges the gap in understanding regarding how information is processed in the mind and in the computer
Cognitive Informatics
to emphasize the assistive role of AI in enhancing human intelligence (American Medical Association
