CO SCI 136 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Sensory Memory, Cognitive Revolution, Cognitive Psychology
Document Summary
Most questions that arose were during the cognitive revolution in the late 1950s and led to a tremendous progress. Cognitive science is the scientific study of thought, language, and the brain - in short, the mind. This includes perceiving, remembering, using language, reasoning, and solving problems. Cognitive approach in psychology is the core and the most prominent school of thought in psychology, it is a multidisciplinary field. Approach to a question: first perceptual processes were used for the written words of the questions to focus eyes on the printed line, then move through the lines, registering the material into a memory system. Other processes then took this material into memory to identify the letter and words. With little effort we retrieve information from memory about the background of the person. At a final stage people report thoughts about the reasonableness of the question (obvious questions often trick questions etc. ).
