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
