	Similarity Scaling and Cognitive Process Models
		Cognitive models are often conceptualized as representation- process pairs (e.g., Anderson, 1976).
		One of the major recent contributions in the use of MDS techniques for understanding cognitive processes was Shepard's (1987) "Toward a Universal Law of Generalization for Psychological Science." As argued by Shepard, the extent to which an organism generalizes from one situation to another must surely stand among the most fundamental psychological processes.
		Some of the critical processes that were discussed were the nature of the decision rule, the role of selective attention in modifying the structure of the psychological space, and the influence of individual item properties such as memory strength.

	Cognitive science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cognitive science is usually defined as the scientific study either of mind or of intelligence (e.g.
		Practically every introduction to cognitive science also stresses that it is highly interdisciplinary; it is often said to consist of, take part in, and collaborate with psychology (especially cognitive psychology), artificial intelligence, linguistics and psycholinguistics, philosophy (especially philosophy of mind), neuroscience, logic, robotics, anthropology and biology (including biomechanics).
		This perspective is one of the reasons the term "cognitive science" is not exactly coextensive with neuroscience, psychology, or some combination of the two.

		While few people would deny that cognitive processes are the responsibility of the brain, a cognitive theory will not necessarily make any reference to the brain or any other biological process (compare neurocognitive).
		Such cognitive specialization can be observed in particular in language, with adults markedly less able to hear or say distinctions made in languages to which they were not exposed in youth.
		By the 1980s, researchers in the Engineering departments of the University of Leeds, UK hypothesized that 'Cognition is a form of compression', i.e., cognition was an economic, not just a philosophical or a psychological process; in other words, skill in the process of cognition confers a competitive advantage.

		Cognition is an abstract property of advanced living organisms; therefore, it is studied as a direct property of a brain or of an abstract mind on subsymbolic and symbolic levels.
		In psychology and in artificial intelligence, it is used to refer to the mental functions, mental processes and states of intelligent entities (humans, human organizations, highly autonomous robots), with a particular focus toward the study of such mental processes as comprehension, inferencing, decision-making, planning and learning (see also cognitive science and cognitivism).
		The term "cognition" is also used in a wider sense to mean the act of knowing or knowledge, and may be interpreted in a social or cultural sense to describe the emergent development of knowledge and concepts within a group that culminate in both thought and action.

		This will then serve as a point of departure for a constructivist approach to the cognitive processes, rather than perceiving cognition as something which is either generally present or absent from the repertoire of the psychological and mental behavior of the individual.
		Modern cognitive psychology, its advances and developments notwithstanding, has thus constructed tools--flowing from theory, into operational constructs, research designs, methods of assessment and intervention--oriented toward the products of thinking and learning, with very little readiness to take into account the components as well as the dynamics underlying the processes responsible for their production.
		Piaget’s developmental stages of the cognitive process are valuable descriptors, but his construction of stages and phases of development risks conveying the impression that these stages are inevitably age-linked, and sequentially rigid, blinding the observer to evidence and potential for modifiabili ty.

	SKEP Cognitive apprenticeship - WikEd
		Cognitive apprenticeship is not ideal for all classroom learning, but aspects of it can be used to make the classroom more relevant to students and to help students understand processes involved in learning.
		Cognitive apprenticeship, ideally, should be scaffolded in such a way that students are able to make use of their zone of proximal development in order to accomplish a new task or learn a new skill.
		Cognitive apprenticeship is best suited to teach a fairly complex process to students, but teachers need to be sure to scaffold the lesson so that students will be able to focus on the process, not on details that they are unsure of.

		The three elements of the composing process are the task environment, which includes such external constraints as the rhetorical problem and text produced so far; the writer's long-term memory, which includes knowledge of the subject and knowledge of how to write; and the writing processes that go on inside the writer's head.
		Cognitive research, investigating the relationship between how writers think about the writing process and the way they engage in the process, reveals much about the factors that determine how easy and successful writing will be.
		Process research in the classroom—methods for critical reflection on ways of learning and writing—can lead to an understanding by students and teachers of the ways that writers choose and can improve their writing strategies.

		Cognitive tools actively engage learners in creation of knowledge that reflects their comprehension and conception of the information rather than focusing on the presentation of objective knowledge.
		Cognitive tools are not designed to reduce information processing, that is, make a task easier, as has been the goal of instructional design and most instructional technologies.
		Cognitive technologies are tools that may be provided by any medium and that help learners transcend the limitations of their minds, such as memory, thinking, or problem solving limitations (Pea, 1985).

		This is clearly similar to the "hill-climbing" paradigm used to model the cognitive process of problem-solving : the problem-solver is supposed to choose that operator (or problem state) which is optimal, according to a heuristic criterion, which measures the "closeness to the goal" of the resulting problem state.
		Cognition might be characterized as a structuring of experience or perception, so as to provide structured information ("knowledge") which can be manipulated or processed in order to solve problems.
		Cognitive processes of this type are characterized by both a creation of new knowledge and an elimination ("forgetting") of old knowledge.

		The very dynamic nature of the cognitive process in clinical diagnosis in a live patient may be one of the special characteristics of both medical knowledge and the diagnostic task which can explain some departures of clinical reasoning from cognition in non-medical domains(10).
		It and the fact that the diagnostic process also automatically embodies considerations for the promotion, maintenance and restoration of the health of a living being are probably some of the characteristics that contribute to the departure of medical diagnostic cognition from cognition in non-medical domains.
		Thus the process (even in the same physician), whether novice or expert is different for different conditions depending on the degree of threat to life and recognition of that threat.

	Cognitivism
		Cognitive psychologists have attempted to find out the answers to mental structures, such as what is stored and how it is stored, and to mental processes concerning how the integration and retrieval of information is operated.
		This information processing model presented the basic mechanisms: three main memory storages in which the information is operated on, and the processes of transforming the information from input to output within each storage and from output to input between these storages.
		The acquisition of a cognitive skill is a progressive process from cognitive stage to the autonomous stage, which, in terms of the ACT-R theory, is the transformation from declarative knowledge to procedural knowledge.

		This challenges the older linguisticallyally-dependent views of ontology, wherein one could debate being, perceiving, and doing, with no cognizance of innate human limits, varying human lifeways, and loyalties that may let a being "know" something (see qualia) that for others remains very much in doubt.
		In this case, an example of an 'emergent behavior' might perhaps be the use of the mass media to publicize inequities in the human condition, perhaps using highly portable cameras and telephones.

		While information seeking is recognized as a cognitive process, the affective process is rarely considered as interacting with the cognitive as part of a whole experience.
		While purely cognitive conceptions of information need are adequate for some research purposes, consideration of the affective dimension of users' problems is necessary to address a wider, holistic view of information use (81), (p.362).

	Cognitive Learning And Memory
		Cognition is defined as "the mental process or faculty of knowing." To help the students reach a cognitive state about a certain subject should be one of the goals of both teaching and learning.
		The cognitive approach, which recognizes the close relationship between that which is known and that which is to be learned, proceeds to build on this knowledge base by helping the students associate new material with something that is familiar.
		Learning is a dynamic process that involves both teacher and student in a united effort that leads to "emerging cognitive skills [that] facilitate the child's development" (Saarni 16).
