Psychological level: Social-cognitive theory & dual processing models - Socio-cognitive theory (SCT)

5 important questions on Psychological level: Social-cognitive theory & dual processing models - Socio-cognitive theory (SCT)

There has always been an intimate link between engineering models of computation/AI and psychological models of human brain.  Why?

- the research of human thought and AI have a lot of parallels.

- we always had the expectation that they are linked

- we have AI spring and AI winter, for some  reason people always expected they are related and some people think that we are one step away from human generating AI.

Why is the idea of models unsuccesful?

That is because the human mind is not a machine of a logically machine. Our human mind is extremely complicated and it is emergent (technical term) it is more than the sum of its parts.

The outcome of just the process are often much much complitcated than just the sum of its parts. Why is that?

our mind is not just reactive, but it generates. It takes information and takes something different from that.

- also proactive, thinking about future behaviour and things that might happen and creative.

What is the goal of consciousness?

- its goal:
                purposive accessing and delibaritive processes information to determine what we should be doing. It allows us to think about our own position in our enviornent and think about necessary actions.

Consciousness thus generates a fundamental dualism between:

1) the physical basis of thought (brain) and its deliberative construction or functional use.

2) deterministic input-output relations (information processing) and chaotic manipulation of information (thinking) --> we take a lot of things to account when we are constructing some things

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
