cogsci c100 midterm with 100% correct answers(latest update)

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
