Cognitive Psychology :red_flag:
Schema: This is your network of thinking . everything that you know and connect to other topics. EXAMPLE: You know about DOgs and Cats and can tell the difference between them.
System 1: This is the fast 'automatic' thinking for your brain. EXAMPLE: You have 30 years of experience being a pilot and you basically go on "autopilot" during a 5 hour flight.
Heuristics: THis is a mental shortcut. One thing can be simplified to make it easier to remember. EXAMPLE: You remember PEMDAS because of the (Please, Excuse, My,Dear <aunt, Sally)
Availability heuristic: This is the first thing you think. This can be influenced very easily by media and people around you. EXAMPLE: You see a shark attack happened in Florida, so you are scared to swim in lake erie in fear of a shark.
Representative Heuristic : THis is what you think about based on what you already know (schema). This is also the stereotype one. EXAMPLE: You think that being a cop ios more of a dangers job then a Lumberjack, because you see more violence against cops on the media.
System 2: This is the slower thinking system. This uses more energy and uses the frontal cortex. EXAMPLE: YOu are taking a calc test and you take 20 mins on one question, thinking and solving.
Assimilation: This is the process of adding information that goes with what you already know to a Schema. EXAMPLE: You are ok with the fact that dogs can be brown even though you have only seen a blonde dog.
Accommodation: This is the process of adding information that differs from your existing schema. EXAMPLE: Your mom told you that Santa is real all of your life, until 1 day you see her eating Santa's cookies that you played out for him. This adds a new schema that your mom can lie to you.
Cognitive dissonance: This is known as mental friction. this is caused when your schema is vastly changing. EXAMPLE: Someone could experience this when they eat meat. If they own pets and are an animal lover, but still eat meat.
Sensory memory: THis is the things that you notice around you, but don't store because they aren't so important. EXAMPLE: An average person walks by 36 murders in their life, but you don't remember walking past them, or even the others you walked by that day.
Hippocampus: This is a brain structure in the temporal lobe. It's job is to help us learn and store memories. EXAMPLE: The easiest way to think of a hippocampus is
Long term: This is the memory that is permanent memory that is stored by the Hippocampus. EXAMPLE: 10 years ago, your dad left your family. You now remember all the times he made you sad, so you don't talk to him.
Short term: SHow term memory is the things you remember from your sensory memory, but not taking into permanent memory. EXAMPLE: Your mom tells you to take out the trash while you are in an intense game of Fortnite. A half a hour later you forget that she told you, because I wasn't important at the time
Amnesia: the loss of information and memories. This is split into two main types. The older someone gets, the more likely they are to get this. This is also effected by past amnesia cases in family EXAMPLE: A 61 year old is mentally declining and is starting to experience problems remembering tasks they were doing.
Retrograde Amnesia: This is when you can't recall memories that happened before an incident. The memories that are effected are usually stored recently close to the incident. EXAMPLE: Someone who hits there head and gets retrograde amnesia might not remember what they were doing right before it happened, or what they ate that day
anterograde amnesia: This is when you can't make new memories. It will be harder for someone with this to make memories after an incident. EXAMPLE: This is the type of Amnesia that henry malison had. He was at first trying to solve his seizers, but found it difficult take new memories.
Dementia: This is a loss of basic cognitive functions, such as thinking, memories, and function of the frontal cortex. This is also a more severe form of Amnesia that happens due to old age. EXAMPLE: Billy is 72 and is frequently outraged when he doesn't get to eat meatloaf on Monday at 2:30 pm. when his family visits him, he never knows who they are.
Working memory: This is information that is held to help with current cognitive tasks. This is often shown to be related to Ram on a computer EXAMPLE: You can be thinking of multiple things at a time, but too many can be too difficult to keep up with
George Miller; he created the 5-9 scale. this relates to how many things we can actively remember.
