  1. Cognitive grammar

    Cognitive grammar is a cognitive approach to language developed by Ronald Langacker , which considers the basic units of language to be symbol s or conventional pairings of a semantic structure with a phonological label. Grammar consists of constraints on how these units can be combined to generate larger phrases which are also a pairing of semantics and phonology. The semantic aspects are modeled as image schema s rather than proposition s, and because of the tight binding with the label, each can invoke the other. Langacker develops the central ideas of cognitive grammar in his seminal, two volume Foundations of cognitive grammar , which became a major departure point for the emerging field of Cognitive Linguistics . Like construction grammar developed by Langacker s student Adele Goldberg linguist Adele Goldberg , and unlike many mainstream linguistic theories, cognitive grammar extends the notion of symbolic units to the grammar of languages. Langacker further assumes that linguistic structures are motivated by general cognitive processes. In formulating his theory, he makes extensive use of principles of gestalt psychology and draws analogies between linguistic structure and aspects of visual perception.

  1. Cognitive model

    A cognitive model is an approximation to animal cognition cognitive processes predominantly human for the purposes of comprehension and prediction. Cognitive models can be developed within or without a cognitive architecture , though the two are not always easily distinguishable. In contrast to cognitive architecture s, cognitive models tend to be focused on a single cognitive phenomenon or process e.g., list learning , how two or more processes interact e.g., visual search and decision making , or to make behavioral predictions for a specific task or tool e.g., how instituting a new software package will affect productivity . Cognitive architecture s tend to be focused on the structural properties of the modeled system, and help constrain the development of cognitive models within the architecture. Likewise, model development helps to inform limitations and shortcomings of the architecture. Some of the most popular architectures for cognitive modeling include ACT R and Soar cognitive architecture Soar .

  1. Cognitive neuropsychiatry

    Cognitive neuropsychiatry is a growing multidisciplinary field arising out of cognitive psychology and neuropsychiatry that aims to understand mental illness and psychopathology in terms of models of normal psychological function. A concern with the neural substrates of impaired cognitive mechanisms links cognitive neuropsychiatry to the basic neuroscience. Alternatively, CNP provides a way of uncovering normal psychological processes by studying the effects of their change or impairment. The term cognitive neuropsychiatry was coined by Prof http scholar.google.co.uk citations?user 8o6e P0AAAAJ&hl en Hadyn Ellis Cardiff University in a paper The cognitive neuropsychiatric origins of the Capgras delusion , presented at the International Symposium on the Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia, Institute of Psychiatry, London Coltheart, 2007 . Although clinically useful, current syndrome classifications e.g DSM IV ICD 10 have no empirical basis as models of normal cognitive processes. Neuropsychological accounts of how the brain works would ever be complete without a cognitive level of analysis.

    Notability date August 2009 The cognitive elite of a society , according to Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray author Charles Murray , are those having higher intelligence trait intelligence levels and thus better prospects for success in life. The development of a cognitive elite during the 20th century is presented in their 1994 book The Bell Curve . In this book, Herrnstein and Murray propose that the cognitive elite has been produced by a more technological society which offers enough high skill jobs for those with a higher intelligence to fill. They also propose that by removing race classification of human beings race , gender or social class class as criteria the main criteria of success in academic and professional life is becoming primarily based on cognitive ability. Educational psychology Educational psychologist Linda Gottfredson wrote cquote Differences in intelligence matter.

    Unreferenced date May 2009 Cognitive slippage is a symptom of several psychiatric diseases and mental disorders associated with cognition and formal thought disorder s. It is manifested in patterns of speech, where categories and lists become overly broad as concepts unrelated at first glance become related through tangential connections. An example of cognitive slippage might be as follows List some types of cars. Let s see, there s Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Japan, Rising Sun, Hiroshima, Atomic Bomb, Enola Gay, oh and Miata. Schutz, 2006 Nonspecific date May 2009 The inclusion of extraneous items in the listing is evidence of the cognitive slippage. While the concepts such as Toyota, Japan, Rising Sun, etc. are all related, the relation is no longer defined by the initial prompt. The cognitive slippage, however, causes the inability to disregard these extraneous connections and results in patterns of speech and association as seen here. In contrast, another disorder of speech, Word salad mental health word salad is even more disorganized than the loose associations of cognitive slippage.

  1. Cognitive Tempo

    Cognitive Tempo A term of Cognitive psychology Cognitive Psychology , also known as reflectivity impulsivity, Cognitive Tempo is a type of cognitive style defined as the extent to which an individual differs in terms of their ability to respond carefully and slowly, as opposed to quickly and with errors. Cognitive Tempo can me assessed using the Matching Familiar Figures Test MFFT developed by Jerome Kagan in 1964. Matching Familiar Figures Test The MFFT asks individuals to find the item that exactly matches the item shown at the top of the page, where all items on the page are similar to the top item. In order to find the item that exactly matches the item at the top, an individual must use careful attention. Individuals can respond very slowly to the task, taking their time, or individuals can respond very quickly to the task. Some individuals make very few errors, even when the match is difficult. Others may make numerous errors, even when the match is very easy. Those who respond rapidly and make many errors demonstrate an impulsive style, while those who repond slowly and make few errors demonstrate a reflective style.

  1. Cognitive imitation

    Cognitive imitation is a type of imitation and a type of social learning . Cognitive imitation, like the imitation of motor rules i.e., motor imitation , involves learning and copying specific rules by observation. The principal difference between motor and cognitive imitation is the type of rule and Stimulus physiology stimulus that is learned and copied by the observer. So, whereas in the typical imitation learning experiment subjects must copy novel actions on objects or novel sequences of specific actions novel motor imitation , in a novel cognitive imitation paradigm subjects have to copy novel rules, independently of specific actions or movement patterns. Introduction The term cognitive imitation was first introduced by F. Subiaul and his colleagues J. Cantlon, R. L. Holloway, and H. S. Terrace of Columbia University. In their paper Cognitive Imitation in Rhesus Macaques Science, Vol 305, July 16, 2004 , Subiaul et al. defined cognitive imitation as a type of observational learning in which a na ve student copies an expert s use of a rule.
