Unit 2: Cognitive Psychology Approach
Categories
each member of the category is a concept
exemplar approach; every instance of a category stored in memory
feature approach; specifying characteristics
prototype approach; average values for the features characterizing the entity
experimental evidence; perceptual domain of color and using hierarchy (subordinate, basic, superordinate)
Concept
form concept from categorization
representation of concepts
introspection
empirical inquiry method; hypothesis- semantic network/propositional network (propositional representations)
theory of spreading activation
Representation based on types of knowledge
scripts; to network theory of propositional representations=theory of spreading activation
mind's eye; visual representations-mental imagery
evidence; mental rotation and image scanning
Problem solving
situation people face when they want something but do not know right away what to do to get it (Newell and Simon, 1972)
types of problem
comprehension
transformation
arrangement
how can a problem be solved
concepts-relations(network)-memory
experts vs novice
Memory
types of information in memory
semantic; facts and concepts
episodic; contains events that we have experienced personally
procedural; performance of various skills
Coding
visual; image
phonological(most common type for STM);person's voice
semantic(most common type for LTM); meaning of what person is saying
The sensory Store; records information from all senses(vision, hearing)
capacity=large(unlimited)
Short term/ Working Memory; retains information briefly and receive input from sensory memory and long term-memory
capacity=limited
Long Term Memory; information from STM (elaboration, mnemonic devices, rehearsal)
capacity=unlimited
retrieval; recall and recognition
forgetting; failure to encode, failure to retrieve, interference
Tulving's Model
categorizes memory
declarative; semantic, episodic
procedural
