  2. Piaget's theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaget's_theory_of...

    Piaget's treatment of everyday learning corresponds to the Cattell-Horn formulation of crystallized ability in that both reflect the impress of experience. Piaget's operativity is considered to be prior to, and ultimately provides the foundation for, everyday learning, [12] much like fluid ability's relation to crystallized intelligence. [86]

  3. Cognitive biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_biology

    Cognitive biology is an emerging science that regards natural cognition as a biological function. [1] It is based on the theoretical assumption that every organism—whether a single cell or multicellular—is continually engaged in systematic acts of cognition coupled with intentional behaviors, i.e., a sensory-motor coupling. [2]

  4. Evolution of cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_Cognition

    Studying the evolution of cognition is accomplished through a comparative cognitive approach [1] [2] [3] where a cognitive ability and comparing it between closely related species and distantly related species. For example, a researcher may want to analyze the connection between spatial memory and food caching behavior.

  5. Domain-general learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-general_learning

    Psychometric analysis of measurements of human cognitive abilities (intelligence) may suggest that there is a single underlying mechanism that impacts how humans learn. In the early 20th century, Charles Spearman noticed that children's scores on different measures of cognitive abilities were positively correlated. Spearman believed that these ...

  6. Cognitive development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_development

    Cognitive development is defined as the emergence of the ability to consciously cognize, understand, and articulate their understanding in adult terms. Cognitive development is how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of their world through the relations of genetic and learning factors. [1]

  7. Comparative cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_Cognition

    In order for scientists to better understand cognitive function across a broad range of species they can systematically compare cognitive abilities between closely and distantly related species [4] Through this process they can determine what kinds of selection pressure has led to different cognitive abilities across a broad range of animals.

  8. Embodied cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_cognition

    Embodied cognition is the concept suggesting that many features of cognition are shaped by the state and capacities of the organism. The cognitive features include a wide spectrum of cognitive functions, such as perception biases, memory recall, comprehension and high-level mental constructs (such as meaning attribution and categories) and performance on various cognitive tasks (reasoning or ...

  9. Neurodevelopmental framework for learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodevelopmental...

    Neurodevelopmental framework for learning, like all frameworks, is an organizing structure through which learners and learning can be understood. Intelligence theories and neuropsychology inform many of them. The framework described below is a neurodevelopmental framework for learning.
