And on the participants here Cognitive psychologists focus on our mental processes or cognitions. These mental processes that cognitive psychologists focus on include memory, perception, thinking and language. The main concern of cognitive psychology is how information received from our senses is processed by the brain and how this processing directs how we behave. Cognitive processes are examples of hypothetical constructs. That is, we cannot directly see processes such as thinking but we can infer what a person is thinking based on how they act. Cognitive psychology has been influenced by developments in computer science and analogies are often made between how a computer works and how we process information. However we are much more sophisticated than computer systems and an important criticism directed at the cognitive approach is that it often ignores the way in which other factors, such as past experiences and culture influence how we process information.

Considers what disgusts different people and why, how this is often used to isolate particular social groups, and methods employed by artists in an attempt to diminish the disparity between our hygienic ideals and the grimy reality of our surroundings. The question of whether disgust is an innate or learned characteristic is discussed.

cognitive psychology The cognitive psychology program overlaps with other areas of specialization both within and outside the department.
http://www.indiana.edu/~psych/area_programs/cog_psych.html

Extractions: The Cognitive Psychology program at IUB is designed to develop a systematic understanding of cognitive processes (perception, human learning, attention, categorization, problem solving, decision -making, information processing and retrieval, short and long-term memory and forgetting, sensory encoding, motor control, psycholinguistics, and reading) with major emphasis on the development and testing of theories in this area. As part of the training program, students are expected to participate in extensive research programs. The cognitive psychology program overlaps with other areas of specialization both within and outside the department. Where it is appropriate to the student's individual program, course work in other areas such as cognitive science, mathematical psychology, linguistics, computer science, mathematics, etc. is encouraged. At the present time, the department has active research programs in the following areas:
Center For The Neural Basis Of Cognition
The goal of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition is to study the neural basis of cognitive processes through a synthesis of the disciplines of basic and clinical neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and computer science.
http://www.cnbc.cmu.edu/

Extractions: Integrating The Sciences of Mind and Brain Welcome to the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. The CNBC is dedicated to the investigation of the neural mechanisms that give rise to human cognitive abilities, broadly construed. The outstanding faculty of the CNBC includes researchers investigating normal processes and disorders of cognition, and there is a great deal of interest in learning and development. We stress the convergent use of a wide range of methods to investigate topics ranging from sensory processing and motor control to language, semantic cognition, and reasoning. The CNBC is a joint project of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon , integrating the strengths of the University of Pittsburgh in basic and clinical neuroscience with the strengths of Carnegie Mellon in psychology, computer science and statistics. The Center sponsors an interdisciplinary graduate training program in collaboration with several affiliated Ph.D. programs. Our training program attracts outstanding students from around the world, and our graduates have been highly successful in finding academic research positions. The CNBC also maintains a full schedule of scientific activities, including a colloquium series, annual retreat, and internal student and faculty presentation series. Our Events and Information section includes listings of upcoming events and a map of the CNBC. The Research section provides an overview of the scientific mission of the CNBC, highlights of recent discoveries, and our faculty research guide. Our People page provides access to information about all members of the community. Prospective graduate students seeking information about our program or application materials and current students seeking information on the details of the program and its administration should visit our Graduate Training page. Prospective post-doctoral fellows and undergraduates should explore Other Training. The Resources page provides links to resources and general information that may be of general use to individuals in research communities intersecting the CNBC.

Extractions: The Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. Program at the University of Alabama emphasizes research in the areas of cognitive psychology listed below. The program also offers a unique opportunity to study cognitive aspects of developmental disability. The program places greatest emphasis on the development of basic research skills. However, it also stresses the development of skills in applied research and in college teaching. Graduates of the program typically pursue research and teaching careers in academic and applied settings; 100% of our graduates are employed in these settings. The program typically has 15-20 active students on campus. Applicants come from a wide range of backgrounds, and vary widely in skills and interests. All students entering the program receive financial support in the form of fellowships, research assistantships, and teaching assistantships. The program is committed to funding students for at least four years of graduate training. Please click here for more detailed information about the Cognitive Psychology Ph.D. Program.

Computers And Cognitive Psychology
Readings Index. Engineering Intelligence Computers and the Cognitive Revolution in Psychology. A Review of Steven Pinkers How the Mind Works.
http://www.emcp.com/intro_pc/reading11.htm

Extractions: Readings Index Engineering Intelligence: Computers and the Cognitive Revolution in Psychology In his landmark study The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn explained that science cannot be viewed as a steady accumulation of knowledge. Reviewing the history of any science, one finds, instead, a series of orthodox world views, or paradigms, each of which reigns for a time and then is replaced by a usurper in what can only be called a revolution. Consider, for example, the science of mechanics, the branch of physics that deals with moving bodies. According to the naive view first advanced by Aristotle and still held by people who have not studied elementary physics, when force is imparted to a body, it moves until that force is used up, at which point it comes to rest. This intuitive view prevailed for more than a thousand years. Eventually, however, people began to see a problem with the theory. Imagine a ball rolling along a smooth surface. After an initial push, it will continue for a while and then come to rest some distance from its starting point. According to Aristotle, the ball has used up the force imparted to it. If, however, you add grease to the ball or make the surface smoother, the ball will go further. The better the grease, the smoother the surface, the further the ball will go as a consequence of the initial push. Aristotelian mechanics is at a loss to explain such a phenomenon. The fact that the ball goes further when greased is, from the point of view of Aristotelian mechanics, an anomaly, something the theory cannot explain. After all, the grease has not added force to the ball.
