COGNITIVE MODELIN ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY

WHAT IS COGNITION?

• cognitive approach explains differences in personality.

• To understand the internal processes of their mind. (Perception ,attention, memory & thinking etc.).

• Cognition literally means “knowing”.

COGNITVE MODEL:

The model describes how people’s perception, or

spontaneous thoughts about a certain situation influence

their emotional, behavioral (and often physiological)

reactions. Cognitive model tend to be focused on a single

cognitive phenomenon or process, and how two or more

processes interact to make behavioral predictions for a

specific task or tool.

Application of Cognitive model to

Abnormal psychologyREBT:Albert Ellis:

• who developed (REBT).According to Ellis, peoplebecome depressed, anxious, upset because of faultyreasoning and a reliance on irrational beliefs andthat people do not respond emotionally to events inthe world but to their ‘beliefs’ about those events.

Ellis described this as an A-B-C process.

CBT:Aaron Beck:According to Beck (1987), psychological difficulties are due to automatic thoughts, dysfunctional assumptions, and negative self-statements.

Social-cognitive theory:

Bandura proposes that internal states,

the environment, and behavior all affect

one another. He maintains that people

often regulate their own behavior and

that we engage in purposeful,

future-oriented thinking.

ALBERTBANDURA’S

THEORY

BEHAVIOR

Learning of aggressive behavior:

Bandura and his colleagues conducted many

experiments on the observational study of

learning of aggressive behavior of children.

What Is Aggressive Behavior?Aggressive behavior is behavior that causes physical or emotional harm to others, or threatens to.

Conclusion

The findings support Bandura's (1977)Social Learning Theory. That is,children learn social behavior such asaggression through the process ofobservation learning - through watchingthe behavior of another person. Thisstudy has important implications for theeffects of media violence on children.

COGNITIVE-SOCIAL(ONE PERSON INTRACT WITH OTHERS)

"Thus the study of the processes involved inperceiving each other and coming to "know what weknow" about the people in our world is essentially aquestion not only of what behavior we have seen, butof our cognition as individual perceivers-our socialcognition. Social cognition, therefore, is the study ofthe mental processes involved in perceiving, attendingto, remembering, thinking about, and making senseof the people in our social world."
