This has now caused me some discomfort or inconsistency to my precious ideas that I had, better known as Cognitive Dissonance.

In “Can Computers Think?” John Searle claims that by definition, computers cannot think, nor will they ever, no matter how much technology manages to advance in the future. Searle defends his claim by providing an outline and an interesting thought experiment. His work begins by simply introducing the prevailing views concerning artificial intelligence during the time period.

The first one was when you asked our class to say why we were here, there was another question (not on the recording), and wrote them on the chalk board.

The first thing we started the…

The cognitive perspective is all about how you deal with problems. The way that I handle delivering bad news to my patients is how I will use this perspective in my future career. The behavioral perspective explains how our environment…

The cognitive connectionism theory can be used to describe Amanda’s language development. In this theory “language is learned, not innate. It relies on generic cognitive information-processing and pattern-recognition mechanisms” (Wolf-Nelson, 2010, p.61). In this theory children use cognitive abilities such as attention, perception, working memory and retrieval to receive information form their environment and construct language competence by using information processes and language. In this…
