Cognitive bias

After viewing the Attachment in Infancy & Toddlerhood Wikipage, it made me think about my own attachment to my mother based upon my behavior as a child described to by my parents. I displayed a very explorative and joyful demeanor when I was near them. I vaguely remember being very upset at only a few years of age upon being separated from my mother. However, I remember after a few years of age, I grew more and more acceptant of her departure while knowing I would see her again soon. I believe I…

There has always been a stereotype that females have a better social cognitive understanding than males, while the latter have a stronger sense of their surroundings. I have a bad sense of direction myself, but I’m good at standing for the position of others. It is found that many girls are good at navigating socially and generally boys can easily adapt to the perspective of others. It makes me believe that the stereotype that I mentioned earlier is untrue and that there must be some other…

Living a creative life is sensual, juicy and exciting. Going on a creative date with yourself will rejuvenate and inspire all of your senses and open your mind. Go somewhere that feels glorious and freeing for you. Find a place where the beauty brings you to your knees and speaks directly to your soul. When you open yourself up and allow creative energies to burst and then embrace the ideas, your life will change dynamically. You can also consider getting together with a group of friends…

Introduction Lord Stanhope’s letter illustrates the longstanding concerns about multitasking. Even the earliest education journals studied the issue of distractibility and spreading attention too thinly (Bailey, 1889; Denio, 1897; Henderson, Crews, & Barlow, 1945; Poyntz, 1933). With digital technology, not only has the issue persisted, there are concerns that the impact on learning is even greater than before (Bowman, Levine, Waite, & Gendron, 2010; Fox, Rosen, & Crawford, 2009; Levine, Waite,…

Ryan’s cognitive abilities were assessed through the use of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtests measure different cognitive processing abilities, combining to form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed which all together…

Language Theory / Neurological Explanation Due to Bernie having difficulty with following directions, remaining on task, interacting appropriately with adults and peers, and since language is still developing, a cognitive connectionist language theory is best described for Bernie’s case. Cognitive connectionist or information-processing theorist according to Nickola W. Nelson in Language and Literacy Disorders, 2010, believe language is learned “using the same set of information process…

III, France, 1993-1998), studying how the content of propositional (digital) and analogue representations frame the structure of human reasoning and deciding. I developed a model for modeling reasoning and decision processes based on Sternberg’s Cognitive Styles, which are close to meta-programs, and some pure NLP meta-programs. After 10 years in the research and R&D worlds (1988-1998), I went back to New Caledonia. In 1998, I created a company, IOD (www.iod.nc), focusing on the one hand, in…

In his paper, The Nature of Mental States, Hilary Putnam advocates for functionalism, the idea that the mind is defined by what it does, rather than what it is composed of. The mind serves a purpose similar to that of a machine, taking various inputs, performing a function, and producing certain outputs. He contests the arguments of the brain-state theory which claims that mental processes and brain processes are the same. I will claim that Putnam’s argument for functionalism is successful…

The meaning is just what it states, our minds are social; the way in which our minds function is based on the aspect of being social. The way that we think and process the world around us is dependent upon the way in which we have been influenced by others. From our birth and throughout our life people have colonized our mind; our mind in colonized based on certain people and without certain people our mind will break down. In some ways we are aware of this colonization and how people impact…

higher level at solving math problems, but he never investigated if it was part of the mindset or not. Chen was the first study to be looked at for potential benefits involving the positive-mindset levels mostly on cognitive process (Sparks 6). Dweck had stated “A lot of researchers, cognitive scientists, have transitionally thought of motivation as something very separate from intellectual performance or ability” as a broader group of researchers from neuroscience, education, and psychology…
