Cognition
IN THIS CHAPTER
Summary:Do you remember how classical conditioning compares with
operant conditioning? In order to profit from what you learn, you need to
remember it—information from sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and even skin
sensations needs to be translated into codes that your brain can store and
you can retrieve. Memoryis your capacity to register, store, and recover
information over time, or more simply, the persistence of learning over time.
Your memory can be affected by how well you focus your attention, your
motivation, how much you practice, your state of consciousness when you
learn something and your state of consciousness when you recall it, and
interference from other events and experiences. Cognitive psychologists
studycognition, all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing,
and remembering information.
This chapter looks at how you make memories, remember and forget
them, solve problems and use thinking in your use of language.Key Ideas
