cognitive approach

            I learned  that cognitive approach is concerned with understanding the thinking processes that underlie our actions.Unlike the behaviorists cognitive psychologists believe that one cannot fully explain behavior in terms of stimulus response connections. Mediator described as mediational processes because they come between the stimulus and the response, for ex. describing the process of memory without concern  for its physical basis. And the Insight a sudden change in  the way one organizes a problem situation, for ex. a child solving a problem discrimination problem can show insight, as mentioned above.
            Difference of Learning and Memory...
Learning for the cognitive psychologists it involves both gathering information and organizing it into mental schemata. While the memory is the retention and use of prior learning. And it can recall our memory for the active retrieval of information, ex. of recall now you can remembered what happened  and even if many weeks past you can recall on your mind for what happen. And I learned also that A Basic Model of Memory is the information processing approach has led to a model of memory which is based on a computer analogy.
1. Sensory memory- for ex. visual sensory memory lass less than a second, but auditory sensory memory can last up three or four seconds.
2. Short-term memory- refers to retention our brief intervals usually 15 seconds os so.
3. Long-term  memory- refers to retention over relatively long period hours, days, weeks or longer.
