refers to any terms that refer directly to mental processes or cognitive processes that are distinct from measurable behavioral outcomes. Immordino-Yang & Fischer (2010) avoid jargon in their discussion on the neuroscience bases of learning but refer to neural networks, which are like neurological systems dedicated to specific cognitive functions and which can be detected through brain imaging. Finally, Wiley & Dee (2011) refer to metacognition, which is crucial for learning and is the essence of self-awareness or self-monitoring.
2. Social processing is a fascinating subject. In Vanderwal, et al. (2008), reserachers use neural imaging to measure social processing to distinguish… Continue Reading...
are processed, stored, and retrieved, which also impacts how learning takes place. Perhaps more importantly, emotions impact cognitive processes and learning. Neuroscience shows the ways thoughts are processed depends on one's cultural context and also emotional states. Thinking styles may be also linked to the learning process, as Zhang & Sternberg (2010) point out, and thinking styles are themselves related to cultural variables. The ways people process information therefore has to do with social learning as well as emotional learning and memory. Certain types of emotions may be more conducive to specific types of learning styles or learning behaviors. Emotions can also promote synchronized or chaotic neurological… Continue Reading...
adolescent cognitive processes have a strong bearing on their development of self-concept, and their social interactions. Also at this stage, individuals start to become more aware of their thinking processes and to think critically and scientifically. In the film, assistant principal Richard Vernon instructs the students to write a… Continue Reading...
connected to how individuals apply and process information concerning other individuals and their social dealings. It concentrates on the part played by cognitive processes in social scenarios. For instance, how we perceive others considerably affects our thinking, feelings, as well as interactions with the surroundings. Research findings reveal that a traumatic social environment during childhood often results in social cognitive issues and greater severity of illness for individuals with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, borderline personality disorder, or PTSD (Hovens, et al., 2010).
Childhood abuse, neglect, and trauma leaves victims at higher risks of developing cognitive impairment, which will later on influence social interaction and perception, a central disability aspect in… Continue Reading...
novel, action-oriented vernacular to help identify higher order cognitive processes. So much research has gone into attempting to understand mental illness and mental processes. Yet, the science behind actual physical and biological processes within the brain are still new. This area of research is perhaps the most groundbreaking in the world of science.
Socio-Cognition: Social Interactions in Learning
Learning can be difficult if performed without social interaction. That is why classrooms and schools exist, to allow students to interact with each other and socialize. Social interactions are a strong component of learning. It allows children to understand boundaries… Continue Reading...
