Cognition

Intellectual Merit of Studying Moral Cognition Morality is a collection of cognitive devices that interferes with our selfish nature, enabling human cooperation [1.2.3.4.5]. Furthering understanding of the cognitive processes that are employed while making moral judgments informs us as to how morality works and provides important information about how the brain interacts with itself. As we come to better understand these processes, we will become better equipped to enhance them. Broader Impacts

Human reason, in one sphere of its cognition, is called upon to consider questions, which it cannot decline, as they are presented by its own nature, but which it cannot answer, as they transcend every faculty of the mind. It falls into this difficulty without any fault of its own. It begins with principles, which cannot be dispensed with in the field of experience, and the truth and sufficiency of which are, at the same time, insured by experience. With these principles it rises, in obedience to

Franky Nassivera In a time, where scientists are able to create both usable limbs and organs with the use of a 3d printer; it comes as no surprise that people would also turn to technology to improve their mental cognition as well. Companies like Lumosity, CogniFit, and CogMed are constantly advertising for their products ability to boost a person’s intelligence. This however may not be the case. In one of Lumosity’s most recent advertising campaigns, it states that “No matter why you want a

Advances in Canine Cognition: Understanding Cognitive Abilities of the Domestic Dog The present paper is dedicated to explain and describe the different advances and developments achieved in canine cognition. It seems to be growing interest in the cognitive abilities of the domestic dog; this interest is, certainly not new; many researchers have been studying canine cognition for quite some time and the knowledge about this area has increased. Dogs were domesticated approximately 10,000 years ago

at the relationships between “thought disorder, psychological complexity, and interpersonal representations with daily and social functioning in people with schizophrenia” (2013). Moore et. Al. (2013) start their article, “Rorschach measures of cognition relate to everyday and social functioning in schizophrenia” by explaining why their investigation into thought disorder is warranted using previous findings and what they hope to get out of this qualitative study. Moore et al (2013) had four hypothesis;

Discuss the interaction between cognition and physiology in terms of behavior • Introduction: cognition, physiology, relation • Amnesia: retrograde, anterograde • Memory: multi-store, division, *amnesic patients, ways of distinguishing types of memory (KC, spiers maguire and burgess, vargha and khadem) • HM • Clive Wearing • Conclusion: cognition, physiology Cognition, as defined by Neisser, is all the processes by which the brain transforms, reduces, elaborates, stores, retrieves

Clark and Chalmers’ extended mind thesis, human cognition extends beyond the skin and skull as it is partially established through the environment advocating for an active externalist perspective of the mind. Active externalism encompasses the concept that objects within the environment can play an active role in the functions of the mind. The Extended Mind paper uses the following example of problem solving to explain this theory of extended cognition. The problem-solving task is set up in an environment

An Analysis on Intuition: Cognitive Bias or a Fast Problem-Solving Cognition How many times have we heard the saying “follow your heart” or people following their “guts” when making a decision? Soldiers in time of war are successfully recorded to use their instincts or “guts”, while engaged in life-threatening situations, in order to minimize life loss. A mom, “instinctively” knows when her child is feeling discomfort, without much need for words. Consecutively, expert chess players can predict how

Culture and Causal Cognition, a study conducted by Ara Norensayan and Richard E. Nisbett analyzes the differences of perception and cognition of two cultures; American and Eastern Asia. Each of the cross-cultural comparisons had pre-reviewed participants whom had similar demographic values and cognitive abilities in an attempt to control the attempted results with the only casual explanation being the cultural differences. The psychological phenomenon that the study centered around is the FAE, or

the arts being cut out of most classrooms these days it is important for us to discover why they were a part of the classroom in the past, and how it affected our student’s learning. It is important that I discuss how the arts affect children’s cognition, emotional and social development. With the latter I will discuss how these developments may affect the student academically. I will discuss how the teacher can teach students to be creative and the difficulty with this task. Finally I will discuss
