Unconscious Thought Processes thought process psychology

  • 1. Mental activity is unconscious if people are unaware of it. For example, you might tap your toe to music without realizing it. 2. Something is unconscious if it happens without effort. For example, in speaking, you retrieve most words in your everyday vocabulary quickly and smoothly, without conscious effort. 3. An unconscious action is one that is unintended. For example, you might accidentally call one person by another person's name. 4. An unconscious mental process is autonomous (runs by itself, without conscious attention). For example, you set your alarm to 7 a.m. and find yourself waking up at 6:59 a.m. 5. A behavior is unconscious if it resists conscious control, for example, a person might not be able to stop saying "um" or "you know" despite trying.
  • the fourth-being autonomous-seems to be the broadest

  • Cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am)
  • reasoning and problem solving

  • Deductive reasoning involves deciding what must be true given the rules of logic
  • Inductive reasoning involves deciding what is likely
  • Deductive reasoning derives the logically necessary conclusion from the given premises.
  • it can lead to a logical conclusion which conflicts with our knowledge of the world
  • Human deduction is at its poorest when truth and validity clash
  • people bring their knowledge of the real world into the reasoning process
  • Induction is generalizing from cases we have seen to infer information about cases we haven't
  • In the absence of counter examples, all that we can do is gather evidence to support our inductive inference
  • Abduction reasons from a fact to the action that caused it
  • can lead to unreliability as an action preceding an event can be wrongly attributed as the cause of the event.
  • Problem solving is the process of finding a solution to an unfamiliar task
  • Gestalt theory and the problem space theory.
  • productive problem solving involves insight and restructuring of the problem
  • productive and reproductive
  • Reproductive problem solving draws on previous experiences
  • Reproductive problem solving could be a hindrance to finding a solution
  • theory says that problem solving centers around the problem space.
  • People solve novel problems by mapping knowledge in a similar known domain, to it
  • people miss analogous information unless it is semantically close to the problem domain.

      doesn't this basically say that humans are quite narrow minded, and fail to see a connection between two things unless it's right in front of them??
