Approaches A01 The cognitive approach The role of schema Assumptions Studies internal mental processes, e.g. memory, perception, thinking Indirect inferences are made about a person's mind based off behaviours Theoretical and computer models Cognitive psychologists use theoretical and computer models to help understand internal mental processes Information processing approach (theoretical model) is based on the way computers function Computer model involves programming a computer to see if such instructions produce a similar output to humans A03 THE COGNITIVE APPROACH Schema a person's internal beliefs and expectations Our schema gets more detailed and sophisticated as we get older Enables us to process lots of information quickly Sometimes schema can distort our interpretations of sensory information The emergence of cognitive neuroscience Cognitive neuroscience - scientific study of the influence of brain structures on mental processes Broca identified how damage to frontal lobe (Broca's area) could permanently impair speech production Advances in brain imaging techniques Tulving et al. showed different types of long-term memory may be located on opposite sides of pre- frontal cortex Evaluation Scientific and objective methods Lab experiments are used to produce reliable data Machine reductionism Paper 1 Some similarities between human mind and computer Machine reductionism ignores influence of human emotion and motivation Approaches Human memory may be affected by emotional factors, e.g. influence of anxiety on eyewitnesses Application to everyday life Experimental studies often use artificial stimuli, such as lists of words, which...

Alternative transcript:
may not represent everyday memory experience Real-life application Paper 1 Important contribution in field of artificial intelligence and development of robots Less determinist than other approaches Founded on soft determinism - recognises that out cognitive system can only operate with what we know, but we are still free to think
