	Cognitive neuroscience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The field of cognitive neuroscience concerns the scientific study of the neural mechanisms underlying cognition and is a branch of neuroscience.
		Cognitive neuroscientists tend to have a background in experimental psychology, neurobiology, neurology, physics, and mathematics.
		The first roots of cognitive neuroscience lie in phrenology, which was a pseudoscientific theory that claimed that behavior could be determined by the shape of the scalp.

	Working memory key to breakthroughs in cognitive neuroscience
		Cognitive psychologists are now building computational models and computer simulations to test theories developed through experimental observation.
		Building on an existing triangle framework for interdisciplinary cognitive neuroscience research, Repovs and Bresjanac propose a pyramid approach in which four lines of research have to be considered when developing comprehensive models of mind/brain.
		Fourth, cognitive dysfunctions following specific brain damage caused either by brain injury, neurological or psychiatrical disease, need to be studied to provide further constraints and tests of the theory.

	Cognitive psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cognitive theory contends that solutions to problems take the form of algorithms—rules that are not necessarily understood but promise a solution, or heuristics—rules that are understood but that do not always guarantee solutions.
		Cognitive psychology is one of the more recent additions to psychological research, having only developed as a separate area within the discipline since the late 1950s and early 1960s (though there are examples of cognitive thinking from earlier researchers).
		Because of the use of computational metaphors and terminology, cognitive psychology was able to benefit greatly from the flourishing of research in artificial intelligence and other related areas in the 1960s and 1970s.

	Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab
		Social cognitive neuroscience (SCN) is an interdisciplinary field that asks questions about topics traditionally of interest to social psychologists (such as emotion regulation, attitude change, or stereotyping) using methods traditionally employed by cognitive neuroscientists (such as functional brain imaging and neuropsychological patient analysis).
		By integrating the theories and methods of its parent disciplines, SCN seeks to understand socioemotional phenomena in terms of interactions between the social (socioemotional cues, contexts, experiences, and behaviors), cognitive (information processing mechanisms), and neural (brain bases) levels of analysis (for discussion see Ochsner and Lieberman, 2001 or Ochsner, in press).
		Spring 2006 saw the inception of a new Journal, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (SCAN), dedicated to publishing Social Cognitive Neuroscience research as well as work in allied areas such as Affective Neuroscience and Neuroeconomics.

	Pych 1055
		Social-cognitive neuroscience is an emerging scientific discipline that attempts to integrate the theories, methods, and insights of social cognition and cognitive neuroscience.
		Cognitive neuroscience moves "downward" into the brain, with the aim of relating particular mental abilities (such as visual-spatial attention, working memory, and so forth) to the structure and function of neural systems.
		In contrast, social cognition moves from the information-processing mechanism "upward," into the phenomenology of the person himself or herself, exploring the social, cognitive, and affective forces that motivate particular behaviors, and the consequences that follow from them.

	At the frontier of science
		The basic premise behind social cognitive neuroscience is to infuse social psychology with brain science methodology in the hopes of deciphering how the brain controls such cognitive processes as memory and attention, which then influence social behaviors such as stereotyping, emotions, attitudes and self-control.
		In the end, the importance of social cognitive neuroscience will not be to find the location in the brain of stereotypes or the "self," adds NYU social psychologist John Bargh, PhD.
		As neuroscience, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and social psychology have independently honed their methodologies, they started asking more complex questions and began to reconnect with their disciplinary cousins, he says.

	Cognitive Neuroscience Section
		Dr. Grafman's Section is attempting to identify the nature of representational knowledge stored in the human prefrontal cortex, the cognitive properties of representational binding that form episodes in memory, and the types of cognitive neuroplasticity that occur during learning and recovery from brain damage.
		The major goal of the Cognitive Neuroscience Section is to characterize the forms of knowledge represented in the human prefrontal cortex.
		While it is believed that the prefrontal cortex plays a crucial role in planning, social cognition, reasoning, and reflection, scientists remain puzzled about its underlying cognitive architecture and the number of circumscribed prefrontal cortex brain sectors subserving specific cognitive operations and/or knowledge.
