Cognitivism PDF

Cognitivism seeks to understand how people understand reality by processing sensory information. It studies cognitive processes like problem solving, perception, decision making, and language acquisition. Cognitivism is important because it views humans as organisms that make sense of the world by organizing, filtering, and interpreting information, rather than simply reacting to stimuli. This affects daily life because our cognitive abilities allow us to learn, respond to situations, and act accordingly. Cognitivism has many applications and is relevant to fields like psychology, human resources, sports, law, child development, and gerontology.

The cognitivism

Juan Luis Malena 3ero B


Introduction
I going to speak of the cognitivism and the
importance of the cognitivism.
And this homework is it is a product of
research and analysis of the subject.
Cognitivism
• What is the cognitivism?
The cognitivism is the form of us brain can think with
the objects and the person in the life.
The construction of knowledge involves several
complex actions, such as storing, recognizing,
understanding, organizing and using the information
that is received through the senses. Cognitivism seeks
to know how they understand the reality in which they
live from the transformation of sensory information.
Cognitive psychology is one of the most recent
additions to psychological research and studies various
cognitive processes, such as problem solving, reasoning
inductive, deductive, abductive, analog, perception,
decision making and language acquisition. It developed
as a separate area of discipline from the early 1950s
and 1960s. The term began to be used with the
publication of the book Cognitive Psychology, by Ulric
Neisser, in 1967. But the cognitive approach had been
brought to a foreground after the publication of the
book by Donald Broadbent Perception and
Communication, in 1958. Since then, the dominant
metaphor in the area has been Broadbent's
information processing model.
• Why to know about it?
The human being is considered an organism that
performs an activity based fundamentally on the
processing of information, which differentiates it
much from the reactive and simplistic vision that
until then had defended and disseminated
behaviorism. Thus, the importance of how people
organize, filter, codify, categorize and evaluate
information and the way in which all these tools,
structures or mental schemes are used to access and
interpret reality is recognized. This representation of
reality will be different for each individual as it will
depend on their own schemes and their interaction
with reality and, in turn, will also be progressively
modified and sophisticated.
The main objective of cognitivism is to discover how
the human mind is capable of thinking and learning.
Thus, it is vital to discover how such representations
of the world are acquired, stored and recovered
from memory or cognitive structure.

• After knowing the concept, how does it


affect our daily lives?
Cognitivism affects our daily life in a great way since
it is the way in which our brain can interpret and
provide an answer to learn, respond and act
according the situation.
Although one of the major motivations of
Psychological Consultation is oriented to the
treatment of those known as Psychopathologies, with
the analysis of the case, the evaluation of the same
and the establishment of an appropriate
Psychological Treatment, there are other fields of
study that apply not only to the Attention of the
Subject to different questions of the world, but also
to the elaboration of different Labor Profiles, being
the auxiliary psychologists of the Human Resources
department of the different companies.
We also have branches of Sports Psychology, the use
of Forensic Psychologists related to law, providing
their opinions in different judicial processes, as well
as analyzing Child Development in regard to their
cognitive faculties, or with their approach to
Gerontology and aging.

As we can see, there is a wide field of study that


allows us to cover different forms of work, which is
known as Branches of Psychology, addressing them
to one or several in particular, but always with an
empirical study methodology, since the common
factor of all this is the Behavior of the Subject.
Conclusion
The cognitivism is very important because it
makes us think of about us an about us
around and social.
