Cognition

The task set is to identify the social-cognition concepts that are found in the characters behaviours and attitudes in the film, ‘Take the Lead’. Impression formation is when someone forms impressions of peoples charismas based on traits and behaviours. People can form impressions verbally, which involves what is said such as swearing, polite and/or formal language. An example of this is how Pierre, throughout the whole film, talks in a polite manner and never once raises his voice. His…

There are three theories that explain the development of cognition in childhood. The first one is Piaget’s theory, Piaget believed that children are scientists since they control their own information from experimenting the world and they learn things on their own without the need of help from others. The second one is Vygotsky’s theory, Vygotsky believed that cognitive development comes from social interactions and guided learning within the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky stresses…

theory. I will give particular attention to Fodor and his (1975) Language of Thought Hypothesis, wherein cognition involves the medium of representation, sharing its central properties with principles found in linguistics. I will then describe reasons for thinking that all of cognition is representational, focusing on Fodor 's processing argument, which is grounded on the nature of cognition, with its essential characteristics of productivity and systematicity. The cognitive act of rational…

that dreaming has an effect on our cognitive development. After investigating the current available research, it has been demonstrated that there is some correlation between neurological developments and dreaming. Dreaming affects the levels of cognition because throughout…

part of the cognitive process, then that part of the world is (for that time) part of the cognitive process.”(Clark, 2005) The Parity Principle infer to a ‘location’ based cognition, where it rejects the assumption that the location of cognition is only within the brain. In other words, elements that are recognized to have cognition as it’s property will contain the property regardless of the location the particular element is at. Rupert (2010) offered a scenario where the generalized…

likely best known for his discoveries and research within the field of attitude behavior for the cognitive dissonance theory (Festinger, L., 1957). According to Festinger’s studies is cognitive dissonance concerned with relations between cognitions. This cognition is any beliefs, opionions, attitudes or knowledge about anything. In the research it is claimed that the cognitive elements can have three possible relations, irrelevant, consonant or…

show how important it is and how it is not a bad way to judge a situation. Snap judgements are created by the subconscious from the tiniest bit of information taken from our surroundings. Snap judgements can also be called thin slicing or rapid cognition. Gladwell shows there are pros and cons to the this method. He teaches us the two states of the mind, the conscious also known as the rational mind and the subconscious. The conscious uses lots of information and evidence to create a…

believe the bounds of cognition has a reasonable and principled theory of the mark of the cognitive. Adams and Aizawa continue with other arguments for the bounds of cognition in their paper. It should be noted that Adams and Aizawa did not target Clark and Chalmers alone, but rather found other arguments to dissect and even use…

Mark Smith argues that perspectiva is not visual perception alone, but perspectiva also entails visual cognition. Aristotle made a lasting legacy on the theory of abstraction so that universals can be observed and cognitive analyses can be used to identify and understand forms. Smith’s article is written for a more academic audience with certain previous knowledge. One must first know that perspectiva is about Platonic metaphysical discussions. Smith first outlines the theory of abstraction and…

the notion of “extended cognition”, which is the idea that the process of acquiring knowledge can extend outside of one’s own physical body. At the center of Clark and Chalmers argument is an analogy between two different individuals, Inga and Otto. Inga’s cognitive process takes place inside of her brain. Otto’s cognitive process includes phenomena external to his physical body. Specifically, it includes a notebook. Clark and Chalmers argue that, though the mental cognition of Inga and Otto…
