| | Cognitivism (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Methodologically, cognitivism adopts a positivist approach and the belief that psychology can be (in principle) fully explained by the use of experiment, measurement and the scientific method. | | | Cognitivism became the dominant force in psychology in the late-20th century, replacing behaviorism as the most popular paradigm for understanding mental function. | | | In psychology, cognitivism is a theoretical approach to understanding the mind, which argues that mental function can be understood by quantitative, positivist and scientific methods, and that such functions can be described as information processing models. |

| | Buddhism and Cognitivism |
| | Cognitivism's treatment of emotion is predominantly concerned with its rational precursors and how it functions as an adjunct to processes such as attention, decision making or memory. | | | In what follows, 'cognitivism' will be used as a collective term for what are variously refered to as, the information processing approach, functionalism, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, the cognitive approach and a variety of of other related terms. | | | Cognitivism seeks a unified, formal theory of the rational component of psychological functions such as language, perception, memory and thought. |

| | Cognitivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In psychology, cognitivism is the approach to understanding the mind which argues that mental function can be understood as the 'internal' rule bound manipulation of symbols. | | | In ethics, cognitivism is the philosophical view that ethical sentences express propositions, and hence are capable of being true or false. | | | Cognition - the study of the human mind |

| | Behavior and Philosophy: FROM DARWIN TO WATSON (AND COGNITIVISM) AND BACK AGAIN: THE PRINCIPLE OF ANIMAL-ENVIRONMENT ... |
| | Cognitivism is very much a continuation of the kind of mechanistic behaviorism it claims to have undermined. | | | ABSTRACT: Modern cognitive psychology presents itself as the revolutionary alternative to behaviorism, yet there are blatant continuities between modern cognitivism and the mechanistic kind of behaviorism that cognitivists have in mind, such as their commitment to methodological behaviorism, the stimulus-response schema, and the hypothetico-deductive method. | | | I shall argue that that kind of behaviorism supplanted an earlier, more radical psychology that, although having little use for the term "behavior," placed a central emphasis on the mutual coordination of animal and environment, and this emphasis was perpetuated, though inconsistently, in the work of Skinner and Gibson. |

| | Cognitivism |
| | Cognitivism, rooted in folk-psychology, is the study of behavior through the mediation of language, and not the study of behaving, what all organisms do, and what we humans say and write. | | | The folk-psychological concepts of cognitivism inevitably lead to the perpetuation of anthropocentric thought, sets of statements derived from human verbal behavior. | | | As the science of behavior progresses, one may expect that some of the scientific concepts to be derived from behavioral investigation may be comparable, parallel or similar to those of cognitivism. |

| | Moral Cognitivism vs. Non-Cognitivism |
| | Perhaps the distinction between cognitivism and non-cognitivism collapses as non-cognitivist theories are modified to capture all of the phenomena that cognitivists challenge them to explain. | | | Nondescriptivist cognitivism spurns psychological non-cognitivism, but embraces semantic nonfactualism, at least insofar as it rejects the claim that moral sentences describe the world or predicate genuine properties. | | | It is useful to contrast non-cognitivism with one particular variety of cognitivism in order to more clearly present what the non-cognitivist is claiming. |

| | COGNITION AS EVENTS AND AS PSYCHIC CONSTRUCTIONS |
| | Basically Behaviorism was attacked on the ground that it extruded mental states, as the presumed mainstay of psychology, from the psychological domain. | | | Its proponents assumed that conditioning as a method for modifying the gross behavior of infrahuman organisms, much as it might serve as a naturalistic procedure for the development of some type of psychological behavior, cou!d not be accepted as the exclusive model for describing and interpreting everything in the psychological domain. | | | Cognitivism appeared, too, as a rival to Behaviorism for recognition as a general type of psychology. |

| | Small on Cognitivism |
| | But, as Bordwell's own 'Case for Cognitivism' explained, the cognitive framework is not an hermeneutic grid. | | | First, is the meta-theoretical level; that is, articles like Bordwell's 'Case' which set out to situate cognitivism within, or in contrast to, other theoretical methodologies that have already gained acceptance in film studies. | | | Film theory's use of cognitivism, then, seems to be more likely derivative than contributory. |

| | Cartesian Cognitivism and Its Discontents |
| | What is broken apart in Cartesian cognitivism is brought back together in the cultural-historical approach both by focusing on the unified nature of mental coordination and by the dual nature of artifacts which mediate mental functioning. | | | Cartesian cognitivism breaks the unity of psychology when it treats divisions between stimulus-response and mind-culture as more than analytic tools appropriate for particular situations and inappropriate for others. | | | Despite more than a decade of effort at solving the methodological problems of the field, the only theme that seemed to unite different authors was the litany of the now-familiar concerns: (1) cross-cultural psychology is methodologically problematic; (2) the weakness of its theories stems from the ambiguous significance of its data. |

| | Behaviorism in language learning produces student confidence in producing correct forms; cognitivism teaches the student how to process information and apply what has been learned through behaviorism to new language forms. | | | The strength of behaviorism is that it builds up an automatic response of learned information; the weakness may lie in application. | | | Memorization alone is not enough; that is why I say behaviorism must be combined with cognitivism. |

| | Bredo / COGNITIVISM, SITUATED COGNITION, AND DEWEYIAN PRAGMATISM |
| | One of the weightiest problems with which the philosophy of education has to cope is the method of keeping a proper balance between the informal and the formal, the incidental and the intentional, modes of education. | | | The theory shifted from a hypothesis to a foregone conclusion, thereby becoming “cognitivism.” Reducing practice to theory in this way devalued everyday experience, losing the common touch for psychology. | | | Thus conceived, a situated approach can be seen as a species of pluralism (Dewey, 1958) rather than a monism (like behaviorism) or a dualism (like cognitivism) because there are many emergent ways in which things are defined or constituted as useful in different situations. |

| | McDowell, Value Recognition, and Affectively Toned Theistic Experience |
| | In recent discussion in ethics, a number of writers have sought to combine ‘cognitivism’ (the idea that values are genuinely ‘in the world’) and a recognition of the affectively toned character of much ethical experience. | | | I shall not expand on this thought here, but perhaps some such conviction lies behind the shift in ethical cognitivism away from the kind of ‘intuition’ to which G.E. Moore appeals and towards the sort of position that McDowell espouses, where the role of feeling is more freely acknowledged. | | | However, this weaker reading of what McDowell has shown is sufficient, I suggest, for the model of affectively toned theistic experience that we have been exploring. |

| | Cognitivism |
| | Cognitivism has its roots in cognitive psychology and Information Processing Theory. | | | Information Processing Theory emphasizes the identification of the internal processes of learning and concentrates on how the learner comes to know rather than respond in an instructional situation. | | | The above events can be translated into specific instructional tactics that can be implemented in any teaching-learning environment in order to efficiently and effectively achieve the desired performance or learning outcome. |

| | Style: Reading in the dark: cognitivism, Film Theory, and radical interpretation |
| | As powerful as their criticisms of contemporary theory are, however, and as subtle and nuanced as their own theories can be, the cognitivists' philosophical distinction between watching a film and reading a literary text remains problematic. | | | But before we can see the value of radical interpretation for film theory, we must fir st examine the sources of its philosophical differences with cognitivism, and for that we must turn to the philosophical context from which it emerged. | | | Along with David Bordwell and others, Carroll has dubbed the stance on which this view is based "cognitivism," and the lucid, philosophically aware works in which this stance is increasingly finding a home make a much better case for the distinction between film and literature than earlier theorists had made. |

| | From Behaviourism to Cognitivism |
| | A second moving force towards cognitivism was a review of Skinner's (1957) book Verbal Behavior by a then young and obscure linguist, Noam Chomsky, in 1959 in the journal Language. | | | This review is 'perhaps the single most influential psychological publication since Watson's behaviourist manifesto of 1913' (Leahey, 1987: 412). | | | However, when a new language of power, rigor, and precision came along - the language of computer programming - it proved easy for mediational psychologists to abandon their r-s life raft for the ocean liner of information processing (ibid: 395). |
