The course so far

Mental Representation in the context of Cognitive Science is:

• a physical object in the brain

• a theoretical construct that represents external reality

• a type of mental disorder

• a form of communication between neurons

Computation in Cognitive Science is a concept that involves:

• the study of algorithms and processes that underlie human cognition

• the physical structure of the brain

• the emotional responses of individuals

• the historical development of cognitive theories

What are the Levels of Explanation in Cognitive Science?

• Computational, Algorithmic, Implementational

• Behavioral, Cognitive, Social

• Biological, Psychological, Sociocultural

• Descriptive, Normative, Prescriptive

Physical Symbol Systems in Cognitive Architecture are described as:

• a set of processes that operate on symbolic structures to produce intelligent behavior

• a network of neurons that simulate human brain activity

• a collection of physical devices that mimic human senses

• a series of algorithms that process data without symbolic representation

Connectionist Networks in Cognitive Architecture are:

• a type of neural network model used to simulate human cognitive processes

• a type of database management system

• a programming language

• a type of hardware architecture

Bayesianism in the context of Cognitive Architecture is best explained as:

• A probabilistic approach to modeling cognitive processes

• A deterministic framework for understanding cognition

• A method for designing neural networks

• A philosophical theory unrelated to cognition

What is Modularity in Cognitive Architecture?

• A design principle that divides a system into distinct components

• A method to increase the speed of cognitive processes

• A technique to enhance memory retention

• A strategy to improve learning outcomes

Object Perception contributes to mind development by:

• enhancing cognitive abilities

• improving physical strength

• increasing social skills

• boosting emotional intelligence

What is the role of Language Learning in mind development?

• It enhances cognitive abilities and critical thinking.

• It has no impact on mind development.

• It only helps in learning new languages.

• It is detrimental to cognitive growth.

Causal Cognition in the context of mind development is explained as:

• The ability to understand and infer cause-and-effect relationships.

• The process of memorizing facts and information.

• The skill of solving mathematical problems.

• The capacity to learn new languages.
