Study Notes
Emergence of Cognitive Psychology
- Karl Spencer Lashley challenged behaviorism, viewing the brain as an active organizer of behavior, not a passive responder.
- Donald Hebb introduced "cell assemblies," neural structures that emerge from frequent stimulation, as fundamental to learning.
- Noam Chomsky critiqued Skinner's behaviorist theory of language acquisition, highlighting the biological basis and creativity in language use.
- Alan Turing proposed the "Turing test" to evaluate artificial intelligence based on indistinguishable human-machine communication.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) aims to create systems that can process information intelligently.
- Information theory, developed by Shannon and Weaver, examines human behavior through the lens of information processing akin to computers.
- Ulric Neisser defined cognitive psychology as the study of how humans learn, structure, store, and use knowledge.
- Allen Newell and Herbert Simon proposed cognitive models detailing human thinking and problem-solving.
- By the 1970s, cognitive psychology was recognized as a major field with unique research methodologies.
- Jerry Fodor popularized the modularity of mind concept, proposing the brain consists of distinct modules for processing different types of information.
Cognition and Intelligence
- Intelligence is defined as the ability to learn from experience, adapt to the environment, and employ metacognitive strategies.
- Cultural context influences perceptions of intelligence; abilities valued in one culture may be dismissed in another.
- Cultural intelligence (CQ) describes one's capability to navigate challenges in diverse cultural settings.
Three Cognitive Models of Intelligence
-
John B. Carroll's Three-Stratum Model of Intelligence:
- Stratum I: Narrow abilities (e.g., spelling, reasoning speed).
- Stratum II: Broad abilities, including fluid intelligence (Gf), crystallized intelligence (Gc), general memory (Gy), visual perception (Gv), auditory perception (Gu), retrieval ability (Gr), cognitive speediness (Gs), and processing speed (Gt).
- Stratum III: General intelligence (g), representing overall cognitive ability, integrating various intelligence aspects.
-
Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences:
- Proposes multiple independent intelligences, challenging the single construct notion of intelligence.
- Identifies eight distinct intelligences, emphasizing their relative independence.
-
Robert Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence:
- Intelligence consists of three aspects: creative, analytical, and practical abilities.
- Creative abilities generate novel ideas, analytical abilities evaluate ideas, and practical abilities implement and advocate for ideas.
- Outlines three cognitive components:
- Meta components for planning and evaluation,
- Performance components for executing tasks,
- Knowledge-acquisition components for learning problem-solving techniques, highlighting their interdependence.
