| | Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Clinical psychology is the application of psychology to the understanding, treatment, and assessment of psychopathology, behavioural or mental health issues. | | | Techniques and models from cognitive psychology are widely applied and form the mainstay of psychological theories in many areas of both research and applied psychology. | | | Cognitive psychology is based on a school of thought known as cognitivism, whose adherents argue for an information processing model of mental function, informed by positivism and experimental psychology. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | It is important to understand that cognitive psychology has not disproved the methods of behaviorism (in fact conditioning theories are still widely applied) but only that it has replaced it as the guiding theory by which all mental function can supposedly be understood. |

| | [No title] |
| | While psychology was still off in the wilds of behaviourism -- radical and neo-, metaphysical and methodological -- philosophers were attempting grapple explicitly with questions of cognition and mentality; questions that experimental psychologists had sometimes banned outright. | | | Behaviourism was a part of philosophical psychology, but it seems that philosophers as a group were far less willing to accept both the unpalatable consequences of strong behaviourism and the inconsistencies of weaker versions than were experimental psychologists. | | | I have argued, in effect, that cognitivism was not experimental psychology's "party" to begin with. |

| | Christopehr D. Green: "Where Did the Word 'Cognitive' Come From Anyway?" |
| | I argue that, strictly speaking, cognitivism differs from traditional mentalism in being the study of only those aspects of the mental that can be subjected to truth conditional analysis (or sufficiently similar "conditions of satisfaction"). | | | In fact, it was precisely in the attempt to disown scientifically troublesome aspects of the "mental" such as emotion and consciousness, while simultaneously retaining those such as thought, belief, and desire that the term "cognitive" was invoked by the philosophical psychologists of the 1950s and 1960s. | | | Cognitivism is the ascendant movement in psychology these days. |

| | COGNITION AS EVENTS AND AS PSYCHIC CONSTRUCTIONS |
| | It is to counteract Behaviorism and its conception of the nature of psychology and science, which the Cognitivists regard as faulty. | | | An interesting paradox of the history of psychology is that experimental psychologists date the birth of scientific psychology from the work and thinking of the incurable mystic Fechner (1860/1966), and the spiritistic philosophy of Helmholtz (1866/1962), Wundt (1908-11), Külpe (1909), and Ebbinghaus (1885/1964). | | | Basically Behaviorism was attacked on the ground that it extruded mental states, as the presumed mainstay of psychology, from the psychological domain. |

| | Theory & Psychology |
| | Cognitivism is criticized for failing to conceptualize practices in a way that recognizes their action orientation and co-construction, and to appreciate how they are given sense through people's categories, formulations and orientations. | | | Activity (and in cognitivism this is still typically assumed to be the same thing as behaving) is treated as something secondary; it is treated as the output of the system. | | | Another consequence of understanding psychology in terms of a prevalent cognitivism is that it encourages us to view the way method and theory are ked together. |

| | 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. | | | More generally, cognitivism with respect to any area of discourse is the position that sentences used in that discourse are cognitive, that is, are meaningful and capable of being true or false. |

| | A Case for Cognitivism |
| | From the "New Look" psychology of the late 1950s (the first effective opponent of behaviorism) have come key concepts for articulating the relation of the two processes. | | | The literature on cognitivism in psychology, philosophy, social theory, linguistics, anthropology, and even aesthetics has become so vast that no introduction can do justice to it. | | | The explicitly constructivist premise of cognitivism thus calls attention to the need of any naturalistic psychology to presuppose some basic (thought not raw or unmediated) data, as well as some fundamental assumptions and principles that guide human perception and thought. |

| | Educational Psychology : Peter E. Doolittle : Virginia Tech : Research |
| | The integration of constructivism and cognitivism allows for a better balance between external experiences and internal processes, between the need for basic facts/concepts and problem solving, and between the desire to have learned individuals and lifelong learners. | | | Thus, cognitivism does not directly support social mediation, unless the social mediation is essential to the task or knowledge, or if the social mediation facilitates some other process such as elaboration or generation. | | | Thus, cognitivism supports the broader notion that learning is enhanced in "real-world" situations, but does not support the conclusion that meaningful learning is unattainable outside of these situations. |
