Theories and Science

 Hi, today we are gonna talk about yet another category of theories. The ones we will talk today about are the Cognitive Theories . Let's start with the definition, shall we? These theories form part of cognitive psychology, which develops the study of the mental processes involved in knowledge . They are responsible for the study of those processes that individuals use to acquire and organize the information of the environment, through the use of both simple mental processes and higher processes.     1. The theory of information processing The model established by Atkinson and Shiffrin is a theory that explains human memory, dividing it into three different types. These types are: = Sensory memory;                                                          ...

 Hi, today we are gonna talk about another category of theories. As the title already says, today we are talking about the psychoanalytic theories . Let's start with the definition, shall we? This set of psychological theories focus on the study of the unconscious , giving a key importance to the persistence in the subconscious of the repressed impulses. They think that the events lived during childhood are fundamental for the development of the person, as well as that the human behavior and the cognition are determined by irrational units that have their roots in the unconscious.     1. Psychoanalysis This theory emerges in the 19th century by Freud , a neurologist who is considered the father of psychoanalysis . Freud attaches great importance to the unconscious and to the analysis of internal conflicts since he thinks that much of what the person does and thinks is determined by unconscious processes. The term psychoanalysis designates a method of investigation and ana...

  Hi, I'm back and today we are gonna talk about another category of theories, just as we did yesterday! As the title already says, today, we are gonna talk about the theories of stimulus-response conditioning. Let's start with the definition, shall we?      These theories intended that the psychology was considered a science as well as the physics, reason why they had a methodology that focused on those aspects that were observable and testable.      1. The connectionism Thorndike , with this theory, defines learning as the result of the association between stimuli and responses. Associations that will be strengthened or weakened by the nature of the same. The foundation of Thorndike's connectionism was the association between sensory impressions and impulses of action. In addition it affirms that the most characteristic form of association is obtained by means of the trial and error. Its main contribution was the formulation of the law of effect. Th...

  Hi, I'm back with another theory. Today we are gonna talk about exactly what the title says, the true power of our minds and about the fact that we can do more than we think, with the right mindset, even "materializing" things we think about. (if you like this one be sure to check the other blogs, too!) •  So, yes, we can materialize things we are thinking about, those "dreams" we are chasing, which every body tells us to "be real" about, or things such as. Anything we may crave for, "true love", money, etc. Anything we wish for can become real, with the right mindset and some time. Now you may ask, but how can we achieve this "power"? You don't have to "achieve it", you just have to think, regardless of what happens in the future or what people say, that YOU WILL achieve it, YOU WILL have it, but you have to make yourself believe it to the fullest, the lesser the pessimistic moments you have about it, the better.  •...
