COGSCI 1B Midterm Fall
What are the 6 fields studied in Cognitive Science? correct answersNeuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Anthropology, Philosophy, and Linguistics
What are the different reasons and disciplines from each of these fields included in Cognitive Science? Explain each discipline first and then the corresponding methods they use. Then separately explain unique reason for Anthropology? correct answersPhilosophers - Deductive Reasoning Psychologists - Scientific Method
Cognitive Psychologists - Modeling AI Researcher - Computer models
Neuroscientist - Case studies, lesion methods, brain images
Robotocists - Testing/building machines
Anthropology exists to give CogSci the cultural context it needs to be studied properly. Not all test subjects can be wealthy/ western.
Understand brain mapping in 3d space correct answersFollow the graph on slide 9
First part of CogSci history correct answersBegins in ancient Greece; Only philosophy
- Discover laws of learning and memory; logic
- Thought in terms of mechanical manipulation of systems
Second part of history - Wundt correct answersWundt establishes first psych laboratory in 1879 (date does not matter) - Uses only own inference Third part - behaviorism correct answersAge of behaviorism
- Behaviorism virtually denies the existence of mind - Develops after Wundt
- Only studies relation between observable stimuli and reaction
Fourth part - Cognitive revolution correct answersCognitive Psych
- New research on memory, development and linguistics
- Also CS
- Introduce scaring baby with bunny mask experiment showing the affects the development of the kids
- Ends behaviorism
End of behaviorism- Edward tolman correct answersEdward Tolmen's rat memory experiment directly proves behaviorism wrong
- Rat #1 carry rats group 1 through maze. push group 2 in cage, learn just as well = able to learn without behavioralisms boldily responses/ reinforcement
- Rat #2 experiment show build they cognitive maps
Planning and organization (first part of Cognitive Revolution) correct answersKarl Lashley work on complex behavior be caused by...
- planning/organization
find important ideas of: - task analysis: understand tasks by breakdown into hierarchy of subtasks
- subconscious information processing: the subconscious organization of tasks is import
Computational models of mind (2nd part of Cognitive Revolution) correct answersAlan Turing develops first computers
- Turing machine - Information processing as an algorithm
