- What is cognitive psychology ? The study of how the brain processes information
- What is cognitive psychology? The study of the way in which the brain processes information
- In the definition of cognitive psychology, that is newer and more precise, what aspect has been added to just "psychology of mental processes"? Cognitive psychology is the way the brain processes information.
- How many stages of cognitive processing are there? A) 5 B)4 C) 3 4
- What are the four stages of cognitive processing? 1) Perception 2) Learning/Memory storage 3) Retrieval 4) Thinking
- How are the four stages interrelated? You perceive a piece of information with your sensory organs, the content is to be analysed. We are trying to make sense of the information and so give meaning to it. Often that will lead to some kind of record which involves learning and storage. From that storage memories can be retrieved at a later point and be used for higher mental processes such as thinking.
- How many different approaches are there in the study to cognitive psychology ? A) 4 B) 5 C) endless, to many to be counted 4
- What are the four approaches to the study of cognition? 1) Experimental 2) Computer modelling 3) Cognitive Neuroscience (fMRI...) 4) Neuropsychology (brain damage)
- What does experimental cognitive psychology do ? It uses psychological experiments on human subjects to investigate the way in which they perceive, learn, remember or think.
- What are the other three approaches in cognitive psychology? -Computer modelling -Cognitive neuroscience - Cognitive Neuropsychology
- What hindered cognitive psychology to develop first and why? Behaviorism. Because behaviorism does examine only the observable processes and not inner mental processes.

-
- What question does "thema theory" try to answer? What enables us to make sense of perceptual input.
- What do Gestalt- psychologists and schema theory have in common? Both try to give information about how people make sense of perceptual input.
- What belongs to "schema driven" and "stimulus driven" ? Top down and bottom up processing.
- What are feature detector systems. --
- What does the limited capacity processor model say? ---
- People with blindsight have problems in which part of the brain? Occipital lobe
- What is quicker controlled processing or automatic processing? Automatic processing.
- The Gestalt Psychologist stand in contrast to which other type of psychologists? Behaviourists
- Did the Gestalt Psychologists investigate mental processes? Yes of course!!!
- What are geons? Basically features, but conceived explicitly as being 3D features.
- What two theories were produced to explore mental processes in perceiving stimuli? - Gestalt approach - Schema theory
