Cognitive psychology, Branch of psychology devoted to the study of human cognition, particularly as it affects learning and behaviour. The field grew out of advances in Gestalt, developmental, and comparative psychology and in computer science, particula
Kensinger, in Reference Module in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Psychology, 2024 2 Models of emotional memory There have been a number of influential models of emotional memory, each focused on explaining a different aspect of emotion's influence on memory. They can be broadly broken down into ...
After participants were presented with the words and questions, they were given an unexpected recall or recognition task. Words that had been encoded semantically were better remembered than those encoded visually or acoustically. Semantic encoding involves a deeper level of processing than the shallower...

Dogs, owing to the social richness of their environment, offer an ideal model species to address these questions. Although dogs can use a mirror to solve a task e.g.18, evidence of mirror self-recognition in this species has not been provided and, to date, there is no conclusive evidence...
Memory- Cognitive Psychology IV (2) 认知心理学 二、加工水平说 Craik&Lockhart（1972）最早提出，针对两种记忆说难以解决的问题：①短时记忆容量有限的性质没有实质的说明；②两种记忆的编码方式存在不同，难以解释；③两种记忆都存在遗忘，它们的特征应该不同，难以解释。理论假设：记忆不存在阶段性，保持...
Our model raises some fundamental questions: Does true episodic memory require event-unique detail, and does this require the hippocampus? Or can prototypical predictions qualify as memory rather than imagination? In the model, event-unique details are initially provided by the hippocampus but can al...
Or instead, do natural errors in cognition yield a “blurry” representation, making the coarse-grained architecture readily apparent? To answer these questions, here we propose a single driving hypothesis: that when building models of the world, the brain is finely tuned to maximize accuracy ...
