Q

Outline two features of the cognitive approach. Explain two limitations of the cognitive approach (8 marks)

A

One feature of the cognitive approach is that models can be used to provide testable theories about mental processing and these can be studied scientifically and inferences made

Q

Outline two features of the cognitive approach. Explain two limitations of the cognitive approach (8 marks).
One feature of the cognitive approach is that models can be used to provide testable theories about mental processing and these can be studied scientifically and inferences made.
Another feature of the cognitive approach

A

Another feature of the cognitive approach is that cognition and biological processes can be integrated, leading to cognitive neuroscience as a way forward to understanding human behaviour

One limitation of the cognitive approach

A

One limitation of the cognitive approach is that the focus on detail of exactly what can be recalled by participants in controlled environments means that an understanding of everyday use of memory, for example, is missing from explanations

What does this lead to?

A

This leads to issues of generalisation

Another limitation of the cognitive approach

A

Another limitation of the cognitive approach is the issue of soft determinism and how there is little room for processes other than internal mental events affecting behaviour
