Study Notes
Production Systems and Computational Models
- Production systems utilize 'if...then' production rules for decision-making.
- Many computational models fail to generate new insights or knowledge.
- Emotional aspects are often overlooked in computational models.
- Every approach presents unique strengths and limitations, highlighting the value of converging operations.
Cognitive Psychology Overview
- Cognitive Psychology examines internal processes essential for environmental understanding and action selection.
- The discipline seeks to understand human cognition through behavior observation during various cognitive tasks.
Cognitive Neuroscience
- Cognitive Neuroscience integrates behavioral data and brain studies to deepen understanding of human cognition.
- Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is utilized to explore cognitive processes and brain function.
- Bottom-up processing is influenced directly by stimulus characteristics.
- Modularity suggests that cognitive systems consist of various independent modules.
Strengths and Limitations of Cognitive Neuropsychology
- Cognitive neuropsychology enhances comprehension of human cognition, influencing theories significantly.
- Research on brain-damaged patients has notably shaped cognitive theory development.
- There are four brain lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.
- Advances in technology have improved access to information regarding brain functionality.
Techniques for Brain Study
- Single-unit recording allows detailed observation of activity in single neurons (invasive).
- Magneto-encephalography (MEG) detects magnetic fields in the brain (non-invasive).
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) stimulates specific brain regions with a brief pulse.
- Positron emission tomography (PET) detects brain activity via radioactive tracers, balancing spatial but not temporal resolution.
- Electroencephalography (EEG) records electrical brain activity from the scalp.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) captures structural images of the brain without functional information.
- Event-related fMRI (efMRI) analyzes neural activity related to memory processing.
Processing Models
- Serial processing occurs sequentially; one task completes before another starts.
- Top-down processing is driven by individual expectations and prior knowledge, rather than just external stimuli.
- Parallel processing enables simultaneous task handling.
The Role of Cognitive Psychology
- Cognitive psychology historically served as the foundation for advancements in understanding human cognition.
- All other cognitive approaches have drawn substantial insights from cognitive psychology research.
Cognitive Neuropsychology
- Focuses on cognitive performance patterns in brain-damaged individuals.
- Coltheart emphasizes the goal of cognitive neuropsychology as understanding cognitive mechanisms.
- A comprehensive framework is necessary to clarify interrelationships in cognitive function and disorders.
