We partitioned the history of cognitive psychology into 3 periods. What were they? introspection, behaviorism, cognitive revolution What features defined each of the three periods of cognitive psychology? INTROSPECTION - LATE 1800S Wilhelm Wundt & Edward Titchener -observing your own thoughts BEHAVIORISM - EARLY TO MID 1900SJohn B. Watson -external observable behavior COGNITIVE REVOLUTION - 1950S TO TODAY -internal mental processes. (detective solving a crime) Following in the footsteps of David Marr, what are the 3 levels of analysis that can be used to explain cognitive phenomena? Computation: The level of what the device does and why Representation & Algorithm: What's the recipe / what rules govern the process for how this function works? Hardware Implementation: How can the representation and algorithm be realized physically? FRQ Be able to explain the cash register example, and think about how these principles might be able to be extended to new situations. Computational Theory: What it does is arithmetic (to compute how much items cost in total), so our first task is to master the theory of addition" Representation and Algorithm: We might choose Arabic numerals for the representations, and for the algorithm we could follow the usual rules about adding the least significant digits first and `carrying' if the sum exceeds 9 Hardware Implementation: Are the digits implemented as positions on a ten-notch metal wheel, or as binary coded decimal numbers implemented in the electrical states of digital logic circuitry?" What are the brain's 3 primary functions? Creating a Sensory Reality Integrating Information Producing a Motor Output
