CogSci 1 Final Review UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
is working memory passive or active? active
early models of visual perception focused on ____ and top-down analysis, neural implementation
included less ___ _.
cognitive science study of the mind and cognition that integrates a number of different academic
disciplines
4 different disciplines of cognitive science - neuroscience
- psychology
- computer science
- philosophy
- anthropology
philosophy vs psychology - philosophy: rigorous argument and analysis
- psychology: experimental techniques and paradigms
spatial resolution - y-axis
- scale on which precise measurement is given
temporal resolution - x-axis
- time intervals to which measurements are sensitive
match discipline to method: - deductive reasoning
- scientific method
disciplines: - modeling
- philosophy - computer models
- psychology - case studies, lesion methods, brain imaging
- cognitive psychology - build and test machines
- AI research
- neuroscience
- robotics
methods:
- modeling
- build and test machines
- deductive reasoning
- scientific method
- case studies, lesion methods, brain imaging
- computer models

, Wundt (xxxx) - 1879
- established first psychology lab
what did Wundt study? mental processes using introspection to observe one's own sensations and report
them as objectively as possible
experimental psychology became dominated by behaviorism
____________?
behaviorism view that denied the existence of the mind
- studied relation between observable stimuli and observable behavioral
responses
emergence of cognitive psychology - 1950s
- date - new research on memory, child development, lingustics
- reason - development of cs
- disenchantment with behaviorism
learning without reinforcement - Edward Tolman
- who? - 1930
- when? - cognitive mapping and rats
- what? - learning doesn't necessarily follow behaviorist view
- findings?
what did behavioralists believe? - learning results from stimulus-response associations --> no learning occurs if
response not made
- learn requires reinforcement/punishment
cognitive map experiment #1 vs. cognitive map 1: one group of rats allowed to run maze and another group carried --> both
experiment #2 groups capable of reaching goal the same
- latent learning
2: rats trained to run a maze, and faced with change in starting place + obstacles -
-> rats able to work out best available route
- acquire spatial knowledge rather than bodily responses to turns
--> learning takes into account mental processes (storing and processing
information)
--> NOT chained sequences of conditioned reflexes
latent learning learning without making bodily responses and without reinforcement
what did the rat experiments tell us about cognition? - learning takes into account mental processes (storing and processing
information)
- NOT chained sequences of conditioned reflexes
planning and organization - karl lashley
- who - 1951
- when - complex behaviors should be thought of as products of planning and
- what organization
