PSYCH LEC
[9] COGNITION AND BELIEF
| Term | Definition 1 | Definition 2 |
|---|---|---|
| COGNITION | ● Your drive of doing something ● Involves processes that are associated with perceiving, making sense of, and using information ● Best understood by examining its components | |
| COGNITION & PSYCHIATRIC DISABILITIES | ● DEMENTIA ● ADHD ● SCHIZOPHRENIA ● ATTENTION PROBLEMS ● BIPOLAR DISORDER ● DEPRESSION | |
| DEMENTIA | ○ Progressive ○ Alzheimer’s Dementia | |
| Alzheimer’s Dementia | ■ Impaired recall memory | |
| ADHD | ○ Executive Dysfunction ■ Contributes to academic difficulties of patients | |
| DEPRESSION | ○ Problems in cognition happens in acute stage, as the disease progresses, the cognitive state stays the same | |
| COMPONENTS OF COGNITION | ● Memory ● Attention ● Executive Function | |
| Memory | ○ One of the most basic cognitive functions | |
| Attention | ○ Efficiently using cognitive resources to take in the information needed to accomplish a task ○ If you try to comprehend everything, this would lead to cognitive overload. You need to choose important factors you should focus on. | |
| Other factors contribute to deficits in attention, such as | preoccupied mind, sleep deprivation, etc. | |
| Executive Function | ○ High-level thinking skills that help a person plan, think flexibly, regulate behavior, and manage complex tasks | |
| AUTOMATIC PROCESSING | ● It is unintentional. ● Activity or task is done without conscious awareness ● Automatic tasks are highly familiar and practiced ● It does not interfere with other mental activity | ● Adaptive and allows you to perform more tasks more efficiently and it facilitates the development of order and routine in life. |
| CONTROLLED PROCESSING | ● Intentional, effortful, and conscious. ● Requires individual to deliberately allocate cognitive resources ● Highly unstable or irregular tasks such as social interaction can never fully be automatic | |
| SELECTIVE ATTENTION | ● Sorting out and focusing on the relevant sensory stimuli in the environment ● This is important because you will get easily overwhelmed with all the stimulus in your environment | |
| Filter theory by Broadbent: | There is a limit to the amount of information a person can attend to at any one point in time (not lifetime). | |
| Attenuation Theory by Treisman: | Alin sa mga stimulus yung bibigyan mo ng attention ○ This states that unattended information is not totally blocked, but is turned down. Some unattended information is weaker, but is turned down. | |
| DIVIDED ATTENTION | ● Move back and forth between the two tasks ● One of the two tasks is automatic and does not require conscious cognitive effort ● Specific practice performing the two tasks together | |
| VIGILANCE | ● Ability to sustain attention over time ● Requires that the individual maintain a readiness to respond to a target stimulus ● Always on guard ● You are looking for specific cues | |
| VIGILANCE Strategies: | take frequent breaks, limit area to a certain portion of the workspace, increase contrast/make stimulus more observable | |
| SHORT TERM MEMORY | ● Held for only a matter of seconds to minutes ● Capacity for about 7 (+/-2) by Miller ● If not rehearsed, information in short term memory is lost in about 20 seconds ○ Can turn into long term memory when repeatedly rehearsed | |
| SHORT TERM MEMORY Strategies: | Mental rehearsal, chunking | |
| LONG TERM MEMORY | ● Capacity is unknown, unquantifiable through minutes ● Accumulation of knowledge throughout your lifetime ● Repeatedly applied | |
| SEMANTIC MEMORY | ● General knowledge, facts, lessons, etc. ● Should be applied to make it long term memory ● Tends to be created and forgotten relatively easy. | |
| Deep processing | is a strategy that involves finding meaning in facts, resulting in better remembering. | |
| EPISODIC MEMORY | ● Events that happened to you ● Portrayed by sequence of how the task happened to you | |
| PROCEDURAL MEMORY | ● Memory about how to do something → process ● Takes longer to be created and is less susceptible to errors. ○ Important to incorporate repeated practice to establish new procedural memories ● More implicit = less consciously accessible | |
| WORKING MEMORY | ● Short-term memory storage and active manipulation of new information ● Actively using the information you need to remember ● Remembering rules/information necessary while performing a task | ● All these three must be present in the task for it to be working memory (active recall is not enough to be called working memory) - Phonological Loop - Visuospatial Sketchpad - Central Executive |
| PHONOLOGICAL LOOP | ● Analogous to inner speech or what you do when you talk to yourself through task | |
| VISUOSPATIAL SKETCHPAD | ● Involves visual input around the objects you’re locating and yourself ● Spatial Orientation and Problem solving within the task through a mental map | |
| CENTRAL EXECUTIVE | ● Oversees the whole process, choosing, and directing the flow of information ● Moves information in and out of short-term memory and integrates new information that is coming in with long-term memory stores. | |
| EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS | ● Require a level of awareness and conscious effort ● Depends on the context | |
| concept | Basic unit of knowledge | |
| CONCEPT FORMATION AND CATEGORIZATION | ● Established to cover a person’s knowledge base ● When creating categories, people define the features of the category around prototype | ● E.g., Clothing is categorized when it is cold or hot and appropriate to wear to works vs. going out on friday night. |
| Schema: | Mental representations that create structure out of related concepts | |
| Script: | type of schema that describes the sequence of events that would that occur in a familiar activity | |
| SCHEMA AND SCRIPT | ● This is important to people because this helps us integrate information. However, it can fool our memory because it happens all the time. | |
| PROBLEM SOLVING | ● What a person use to reach a certain goal, but one cannot immediately figure out the best pathway to the goal ● Involves overcoming obstacles that interfere with goal attainment ● Must be exact with what you want them to learn | |
| PROBLEM SOLVING TUA: | Must innately have a problem | |
| 6 STEPS OF PROBLEM SOLVING | 1. Recognizing that there is a problem 2. Understanding the problem 3. Identifying strategies or solutions to resolve the problem 4. Evaluating the strategies 5. Selecting and carrying out a strategy 6. Evaluating the outcome | |
| STEPS OF PROBLEM SOLVING Evaluating the outcome | ● In this scenario, you are employing a facilitative leadership to challenge the client’s problem-solving skills | |
| DECISION MAKING | ● Activity full of choices | |
| Heuristics: | Simple rules of thumb that help people make decisions quickly. Can also lead to be biased or incorrect decisions. | |
| REPRESENTATIVENESS HEURISTIC | ● Heuristic ● People make decisions when something looks like a prototype or model you have come to expect ● People believe that random outcomes are more likely than orderly outcomes | |
| AVAILABILITY HEURISTIC | ● People estimate frequency or make decisions based on how easy it is to think of an example ● Familiarity influences decisions | ● E.g.: If you are sick recently after eating a food, you wouldn’t eat it again for the next few days but you might make a different decision in another 5 years. |
| ANCHORING AND ADJUSTMENT HEURISTIC | ● People start w/ an anchor, then make adjustments with additional information | ● E.g.: You estimated that you’ll be able to finish your output in 4 hours, but once 3 hours have passed and you still haven’t reached 50% of your work, you make an adjustment. |
| METACOGNITION | ● Awareness of what you know and what you don’t know ● Important regulatory mechanism because it helps you match your abilities with the task at hand | |

| ERRORLESS LEARNING APPROACH ● Training process: | ○ The task is broken down into simple components. ○ The training starts with simple tasks with a high likelihood of success | ○ Increasingly difficult tasks are added, but prompts, cues, and guided instruction are used at each level ○ Performance at each level is overlearned using repetition, successful practice, and positive reinforcement. |
| ERRORLESS LEARNING APPROACH ● Target(s) of Intervention: | Distorted beliefs in the context of occupational performance | |
| ERRORLESS LEARNING APPROACH ● Description: | Distorted beliefs are identified by providing evidence to the contrary | |
| CBT | is effective for reducing depression, and combined CBT and medication is more effective than medication alone (Cuijpers et al, 2013). | |
| COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING WITH CBT METHODS | ● Directly target cognitive beliefs for persons with psychiatric conditions and other psychological problems | ● Involve identifying, reframing, and replacing cognitive distortions, perceptions, and appraisals of life events with more realistic and adaptive appraisals, automatic thoughts, attitudes, and core beliefs |
| A1. SOCRATIC QUESTIONING | ● Involves the strategic use or open-ended, guiding questions that avoid interpretation | |
| A1. SOCRATIC QUESTIONING phase 1. Asking informational questions that the cx can answer to help make concerns explicit and for the client to feel heard | What are you thinking/feeling when you do __? Could you give me an example? Elaborate? What do you mean when you say __? How long have you felt/believed this way? | |
| A1. SOCRATIC QUESTIONING phase 2. Asking questions that reflect empathetic listening and summarize issues related to the problem. | Let me see if I understand; do you mean __? When you say __, are you implying __? Let me summarize; are you thinking __? Or feeling __? | |
| A1. SOCRATIC QUESTIONING phase 3. Asking questions that draw the client’s attention to information relevant to the issue being discussed, but which may be outside the client’s current focus. | What evidence do you have that support or refute the view? In a similar situation, what did you do? How did that turn out? What might someone who disagrees say? | |
| A1. SOCRATIC QUESTIONING phase 4. Asking analytic/synthesizing questions that guide the client toward new information to reevaluate a previous conclusion. | How could you find out if it is true or not? How does this information fit with __? Are there alternative explanations? | |
| A2. GUIDED DISCOVERY | ● Involves the strategic and collaborative process between client and therapist that leads to uncovering information relevant to an issue being discussed and alternative options for addressing the issue. | ● What is evidence for and against the belief? ● What are the alternative explanations of the event or situation? ● What are the real implications if the belief is correct? |
| B. THOUGHT RECORDS | ● A worksheet that helps persons organize and evaluate their thoughts, beliefs, and emotional responses when they feel distressed by a situation they encountered (J. Beck, 2011) | |
| B. THOUGHT RECORDS ● Fortune Telling: | You predict the worst case scenario | |
| B. THOUGHT RECORDS ● Magnifying: | Exaggerating the situation | |
| Thought Record - Date/Time | 7/13/2008 7:00 AM | |

| Thought Record - Emotion | Angry, Anxious, Emotional Intensity: 90% | |
| Thought Record - Automatic Thought | I’ll be fired. I’m always messed up. I’m an idiot. Belief Strength: 90% | |
| Thought Record - Thought/Distortion | Fortune-telling; magnifying | |
| Thought Record - Alternative Thought/View | Late once before, & I wasn’t fired. I can offer to stay late and make up time. I need to be sure of my alarm. | |
| Thought Record - Outcome | Emotional Intensity: 40% Belief Strength: 20% | |
