COLLOCATIONS FROM CORPUS
■ NOUN
activity
▪ All the evidence points to dreaming being a highly complex cognitive activity.
▪ The inability to reverse operations is characteristic of the cognitive activity of the preoperational child.
▪ These actions are directed by cognitive activity rather than dominated by perceptions, as was the case with preoperational thought.
▪ Behavior patterns that are repeated in the course of cognitive activity are conceptualized as reflecting schemata.
▪ Any cognitive activity seems to be dominated by the perceptual aspects.
approach
▪ As regards metaphor, the cognitive approach appears to share something of both semantics and pragmatics.
▪ To teach this system effectively, it uses the cognitive approach.
▪ The recent trend toward cognitive approaches to metaphor provides a means of formalizing such a conception.
▪ Nevertheless, there is a crucial difference between the cognitive approach and that of social representations.
▪ This opinion is held by those who advocate a cognitive approach to learning.
▪ A more cognitive approach is needed if the decisions made by managers and consumers are to be understood.
▪ My final reservation relates to the almost total neglect of cognitive approaches to the questions discussed.
▪ There are two main schools of thought in this regard: the behaviourist approach and the cognitive approach.
aspect
▪ The cognitive aspects of sensorimotor development evolve as a child acts on the environment.
▪ As the cognitive aspects of intelligence are developing, there is a parallel development of affect.
▪ First, Piaget did his research on and wrote primarily about the cognitive aspects of intellectual development and cognitive structure.
▪ Piaget also argued that all behavior has both affective and cognitive aspects.
▪ The cognitive aspect has three components: content, function, and structure.
capacity
▪ In this view, decision makers lack the cognitive capacity and the comprehensive information that would enable them to calculate utilities rationally.
▪ The important conclusion is that some of the cognitive capacities needed for language evolved long before humans.
development
▪ Play, Dreams and Imitation in Childhood may be related to a whole series of studies of cognitive development by piaget.
▪ Affective development is not independent of cognitive development.
▪ These terms have traditionally been studied because of their role in cognitive development.
▪ Mental and physical actions in the environment are a necessary but not sufficient condition for cognitive development.
▪ We were only playing School life is more than cognitive development, children's social development is important too.
▪ Action is one of several interacting determinants of cognitive development.
▪ This involves not only cognitive development but also a parallel affective development and adaptation to the adult life.
▪ At each new level of cognitive development, previous levels are incorporated and integrated.
dissonance
▪ The result, again, was a recognition of cognitive dissonance between internal stakeholder groups.
▪ Defenders have advanced to a state of cognitive dissonance, an awareness that beliefs conflict with evidence.
▪ Of course, the recognition of cognitive dissonance still does not solve the problem.
▪ But in 1959 something was wrong with this picture: cognitive dissonance.
▪ Meanwhile, the cognitive dissonance of the experience should shock any uniformitarian in the audience fully awake.
function
▪ Estrogen is said to enhance cognitive function.
▪ Drowsiness, impaired cognitive function, and impotence may be a problem with higher doses.
▪ Precisely what are the cognitive functions, or epistemological resources, of different animals?
▪ The principal advantage of this drug is that it causes little sedation or impairment of cognitive function and no dysmorphic side effects.
▪ It is precisely the integration of cybernetic mechanisms in a hierarchical order that enables animals to develop the more complex cognitive functions.
▪ There is little doubt that higher cognitive functions are associated with complex social life and elaborate means of communication.
impairment
▪ The complete lack of cognitive improvements leads them to suggest that cognitive impairment is intrinsically associated with long-term morbidity in schizophrenia.
▪ Table 4.5 shows that, as we would expect, cognitive impairment increased over the year in all samples.
map
▪ Now consider an ingenious experiment which almost forces us to suppose that an animal has a cognitive map.
▪ Part of the cognitive map of Easton's section police is their recipe knowledge.
▪ Suppose that a cognitive map, similar to that in Figure 10, exists in the brain.
▪ The rats used their cognitive maps to achieve the goal, showing they had learned the maze.
▪ We do not know how cognitive maps are stored in the brain.
▪ The other is to build up a cognitive map of the region to be traversed.
▪ These cases suggest that animals can form cognitive maps.
▪ Consider first a case in which no cognitive map is needed.
model
▪ Models of face processing Finally, I want to move from cognitive models of word recognition to cognitive models of face recognition.
▪ The cognitive model proposes a direct causal link: participation brings about enhanced information on goals, and so performance is improved.
▪ So current cognitive models of language, memory, perception and so forth are also basically neutral to the question of consciousness.
process
▪ These experiments tell us a great deal about certain aspects of cognitive processes, particularly their relative timing or sequencing.
▪ Other models seek to emphasize the computational aspects of memory, thought, and cognitive processes.
▪ So far, we have discussed ways in which different kinds of words may be pronounced using a range of cognitive processes.
▪ Can the model help explain how human cognitive processes work?
▪ A classic example of cognitive processes is that of animal memory and the demonstration of subsequent decisions based thereon.
▪ The cognitive challenge Psychobiologists have reacted to the rediscovery of cognitive processes in two ways.
▪ The difference is in the degree to which internal, cognitive processes are seen as being involved in producing the response.
▪ Second, can we learn anything new about the nature of the underlying cognitive processes from studying these unfortunate individuals?
psychology
▪ Holzner however describes the cognitive processes of the individual, borrowing both from cognitive psychology and from the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty.
▪ The research will draw on and integrate current work in artificial intelligence, linguistics, and cognitive psychology.
▪ Associative priming is a well known phenomenon in cognitive psychology.
science
▪ If functionalism is false, then the success of the cognitive sciences is a massive scientific fluke.
▪ Language is acquiring increased visibility in the field of cognitive science.
▪ But cognitive science is not merely about information technology.
skill
▪ Psychologists use tests that examine the cognitive skills of the child.
▪ For each cognitive skill which humans possess, they must also possess its opposite.
▪ The study will test several hypotheses about the relation between perceptual and cognitive skills.
structure
▪ This is because metaphorical mappings, and hence readings, are ultimately constrained by what appear to be universal cognitive structures.
▪ That is, affective structures are constructed as cognitive structures are constructed.
▪ They will possess the same cognitive structures and whatever maturational schedules thereof that underlie hearing children's language acquisition.
▪ Concurrent with the development of cognitive structures is the development of affective structures.
▪ This reduces social and historical circumstances to modifying influences on a cognitive structure predisposed to differentiation and even discrimination.
▪ As development proceeds, egocentrism slowly wanes and is revived in a different form when new cognitive structures are attained.
▪ Logical operations are constructed, as are all cognitive structures, out of prior structures as a function of assimilation and accommodation.
▪ Flavell writes: Interposed between function and content, Piaget postulates the existence of cognitive structures.
system
▪ Reading takes years of learning and practice by the human child, who already has an established linguistic and cognitive system.
▪ The selected novel information is then fed to the cognitive system.
theory
▪ Or maybe any conceivable account is translatable into cognitive theory, which then loses all empirical content.
▪ He has traveled widely, lecturing on such obscure but important topics as cryptography, intellectual property and cognitive theory.
▪ The best cognitive theory we have motivates the best valid interpretation we can get.
▪ But cognitive theories' dominance within psychological discourse induces many feminists to recapitulate these theories, overlooking their subtler gender biases.
therapy
▪ In our second study we sought to confirm our findings that group and individual cognitive therapy were equally effective.
▪ In this sense cognitive therapy might sometimes serve a preventive function.
▪ Though the early stages of cognitive therapy are primarily behavioural, one often has to introduce cognitive material in order to facilitate tasks.
▪ In their entirety the cognitive therapy techniques of Beck and his colleagues offer a complete system of psychotherapy.
▪ Or it may take a more structured approach drawn from cognitive therapy techniques.
▪ Discovering these chains or networks of negative irrational thoughts is the basis of cognitive therapy.

mental/visual/cognitive/hearing etc impairment
▪ An artist who has a visual impairment, working with and not against its limitations.
▪ Five years after his illness began the patient complained of progressive visual impairment.
▪ Hearing checks are essential as conductive hearing impairment is very frequent in young children.
▪ However, visual impairment does seem to be related to both anxiety and depression.
▪ Nausea, visual impairment, or headache occasionally occur.
▪ The authors recognise the many methodological problems in studying disabilities that may result from hearing impairment.
▪ The complete lack of cognitive improvements leads them to suggest that cognitive impairment is intrinsically associated with long-term morbidity in schizophrenia.
▪ This is one reason why hearing impairment in childhood is totally different from hearing loss in adult life.
