COGSCI C100 Midterm Exam-Questions with CorrectAnswers/Verified
Alan Turing - ✔✔- father of cognitive science due to his invention of the turing machine
- understood cognition as an algorithmic system of processing
parallel processing - ✔✔- the connectionist perspective that processing of many aspects of a
problem occur simultaneously
- popular in the 90s and associated with the growth of attention in cognitive science
artificial intelligence - ✔✔computer models made to accomplish the same cognitive tasks
that humans do
machine learning - ✔✔a subset of ai that allows computers to learning by creating new
algorithms
deep learning - ✔✔a subset of machine learning that computers learn without provided
algorithms
neural networks - ✔✔networks of algorithms in ai that are similar to the neural networks
present in the human brain
1990s - ✔✔when did cognitive science gain popularity
growth of technology (development of neuroimaging techniques, single-cell recordings) -
✔✔factors that allowed cognitive science to gain popularity
frontal lobe - ✔✔executive functioning
parietal lobe - ✔✔sensory cortex
,occipital lobe - ✔✔visual cortex
temporal lobe - ✔✔auditory cortex
amygdala - ✔✔-almond shaped emotional regulator (associated with negative emotions)
-part of limbic system
hippocampus - ✔✔- donut shaped part of brain associated with memory and learning
- part of limbic system
true - ✔✔Brain states correlate with emotional states
penfield study - ✔✔- stimulated parts of brain with electrode and caused patients to give
rise to emotions, thoughts, images, and muscle movements
- shows that brains states can (sometimes) cause emotional states
- lab environment is unlike anything in reality
- best things in life aren't quantifiable
- belief is a confounding variable - ✔✔limitations of experimental method
sq3r - ✔✔- scan
- question
- read
- recite
- review
False - ✔✔we retain more info if we read slower
sensation and perception - ✔✔two parts of acquiring knowledge
, sensation - ✔✔the biological process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system
receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment
perception - ✔✔the organizing and interpretation of sensory information
template matching model, feature-analysis model, recognition-by-components model,
prototype model - ✔✔object perception models
template matching model - ✔✔- object perception occurs by matching object with internal
templates
- example: q
feature-analysis model - ✔✔object perception occurs by matching.a small number of
characters of stimuli
- example: kangaroo
recognition-by-components model - ✔✔- object perception occurs by recognizing an
arrangement of simple 3D shapes called geons
- example: cup, watering can, and stool
prototype model - ✔✔- object perception occurs by involving a comparison with stimuli
with abstract example
- most popular model in cog sci
- example: penguin is a bird vs sparrow is a bird
mindfulness: can see objects without the bias of conceptual models - ✔✔alternative mode
of perception
computer nodes - ✔✔ai correlate to human neuron
