Cognitive biases

reasons highlighted in this paper include the stress toll on both the students, as well as the teachers. This paper also highlights a few good reasons as to why standardized testing is a good idea; For example, “Standardized testing promotes the cognitive process, and has been shown to maximize long-term retention and retrieval.” (Henry L. Roediger III). Sometimes the parent or even the culture that we live in today can actually be the problem when it comes to test anxiety. Finally, a…

Our definitional model of consciousness states that consciousness cannot be explicitly measured, however is biologically rooted and dependent on the brain. Although consciousness is cognitive and internal, it is developed through social interactions with others as well as social reflections on those interactions. In this way consciousness is a social construction that is rooted in, and dependent on, cultural grounding and context (Lutz 1992, Sandstrom 2010). This ‘awareness of awareness’ is…

"The First Principle in the Science of Getting Rich" The mind is a powerful creation. It has the ability to dream up some of the greatest inventions, and it has dreamed some of the greatest horrors. How we think is critical to our success, but not in the way most people believe. It is not about thinking positive thoughts. This won 't change our situation. The secret here is to learn to think about the things we want, and not think about the things we don 't. Here are seven principles for…

the age of seven, most children rely more on verbal coding. Even young children who demonstrate a preference for using visual coding have both visual and verbal coding available to them (Palmer, 2000). This information contributes to the field of cognitive psychology by helping it to gain more accurate knowledge about the brain and its functions. Education could benefit from the information found in this study. Children with a high capacity of the phonological loop have better reading and…

There are few empirical studies conducted to test the validity of the proposed models. Cienki (2004, 2005a, 2005b) are the first contribution to the linguistic investigation of the models. He merged between the quantitative and qualitative approaches. Cienki (2004) conducted an analysis in order to empirically testing Lakoff’s models. His corpus was a televised debates between George W. Bush and Al Gore before the US before the presidential campaign in October 2000. Cienki searched for the…

The Limit of Reason Studies are regularly done to understand the minds of individuals. All the knowledge gathered on brain mechanics and functions can be attributed to studies. Although what a person may know about a subject or object is a fact, facts cannot always be proven to be true in the mind of a person. Sometimes people acquire what they think is a fact and refuse to admit it is a fallacy. For example, researchers get a group of students that have opposing views on capital punishment.…

Paul Pierre Broca talked about ‘le grand lobe limbique’ in 1878 or the great limbic lobe and used the term “limbic” (from the Latin limbus for border) to the rounded rim of the cortex which also has the cingulate and the parahippocampalgyri. However, its supposed role in emotion was elaborated by the American physician, James Papez in 1937 in the influential paper titled ‘A proposed mechanism of emotion’. This anatomical model is called the Papez circuit.[2] In the year of 1948 scientist…

Recently, the Hanson Robotics, an artificial intelligence company in the United States, has attempted to create an AI with developed social skills. They have developed a social robot, named Sophia. She is able to process visual data, see people's faces, process conversational data, as well as emotional data. She could use these data to form relationships and socialize with humans. As for physicians coping with health care in hospitals, AI may replace physicians in some areas. For example,…
