  2. Reconstructive memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstructive_memory

    The most common aspect of retrieval cues associated with reconstructive memory is the process that involves recollection. This process uses logical structures, partial memories, narratives, or clues to retrieve the desired memory. [29] However, the process of recollection is not always successful due to cue-dependent forgetting and priming.

  3. Extended mind thesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_mind_thesis

    In this manner, the mind is extended into the physical world. The main criterion that Clark and Chalmers list for classifying the use of external objects during cognitive tasks as a part of an extended cognitive system is that the external objects must function with the same purpose as the internal processes.

  4. Broadbent's filter model of attention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadbent's_filter_model_of...

    Donald Broadbent based the development of the filter model from findings by Kennith Craik, who took an engineering approach to cognitive processes. Cherry and Broadbent were concerned with the issue of selective attention. [1] Broadbent was the first to describe the human attentional processing system using an information processing metaphor. [2]

  5. Dual process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory

    System 1 processes are responsible for cognitive biases; System 2 processes are responsible for normatively correct responding. Both System 1 and System 2 processing can lead to normative answers and both can involve cognitive biases. System 1 processing is contextualised while System 2 processing is abstract. [54]

  6. The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two - Wikipedia

    [2] [3] [4] It was written by the cognitive psychologist George A. Miller of Harvard University's Department of Psychology and published in 1956 in Psychological Review. It is often interpreted to argue that the number of objects an average human can hold in short-term memory is 7 ± 2. This has occasionally been referred to as Miller's law.

  7. Cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognition

    A cognitive model, as illustrated by Robert Fludd (1619) [1]. Cognition is the "mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses". [2]

  8. Computational theory of mind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_theory_of_mind

    The language of thought theory allows the mind to process more complex representations with the help of semantics. Recent work has suggested that we make a distinction between the mind and cognition. Building from the tradition of McCulloch and Pitts, the computational theory of cognition (CTC) states that neural computations explain cognition ...

  9. Automatic and controlled processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_and_controlled...

    Automatic and controlled processes (ACP) are the two categories of cognitive processing.All cognitive processes fall into one or both of those two categories. The amounts of "processing power", attention, and effort a process requires is the primary factor used to determine whether it's a controlled or an automatic process.
