Study Notes

Cognition and Behaviour

  • Cognition is the process of information processing
  • Behaviour is the reaction to stimuli
  • Decisions are complex and influenced by consciousness
  • We focus on specific stimuli and process information in unique ways
  • There is a relationship between sensation, perception and reaction

Motivation

  • Motivation is the process behind initiating, sustaining, directing, and stopping behaviour
  • Types of motivation include:
    • Biological Motivation
    • Stimulus Motivation
    • Learned Motivation
  • Motivation can come from internal sources or external sources

Emotion

  • Emotions influence our reactions and motivations
  • Emotions are mediated by emotional states
  • We experience strong feelings when we achieve or fail
  • Past experiences influence our emotions
  • Emotions have three components:
    • Physiological arousal
    • Outward physical displays
    • Subjective feeling states

Types of Emotions

  • There are basic, innate, and universal emotions that are linked to survival
  • The amygdala and limbic system are involved in processing emotions
  • Power and Dalgliesh (2008) identified five basic emotions:
    • Fear
    • Anger
    • Happiness
    • Sadness
    • Disgust
  • Colibazzi et al (2010) proposed a dimensional theory of emotions:
    • Valence (pleasant-unpleasant continuum)
    • Arousal (excited or relaxed)
  • Distinct brain networks are associated with different emotional states
  • Each emotional state has typical action patterns
  • Adults regulate emotions

Cognition & Emotion

  • Thoughts are part of emotional responses
  • Memories and beliefs influence our feelings and how we make sense of the world
  • Cognitive Appraisal:
    • We interpret sensory information
    • We decide how relevant information is
    • We identify if something is good, bad, or threatening
    • We then select a behaviour based on the information and feelings
