Cognitive processes of human

Psychologist Dr. Doping talks about a unified theory of mental processes, the problem of qualia and psychological time. What cognitive processes directly emit psychologists? How can thinking? What is the axis of psychological time?

I will use the typology proposed by St. Petersburg once, then American psychologist Lev Markovich Vekker. He has developed a unified theory of mental processes, it I will not describe, but its scheme of allocation of these processes seems to me very easy, and fill it I will try myself. What he proposed? He proposed to distinguish between two groups of processes: the first, in fact, give us information about the world at different levels, the latter somehow organize the information it receives, the knowledge obtained along the axis of psychological time, asking our psychological past, present, psychological, psychological future. The first processes Vekker represents a proper informative. The latter, in fact, permeate all our knowledge, so they can be designated as a cross-cutting.

For improving cognitive process we buy nootropic drugs: Picamilon, Pantogam, Noopept, Semax.

If we look at a normal adult, we can see that the world, in general, it is given not so much to feel. We do not see red, brilliant, bright, and so on - we are seeing things. We see tables, chairs, cups, home, car and so on. That is, in fact, for us, the feeling is not leading the process. A leading process becomes a process for us, which gives us a holistic images of objects of the world. Actually, the image - this is the second form of reflection that gives us knowledge of the world, and the process of constructing the image will be referred to in psychology as a process of perception. That is the perception and define - as a process of building an image as a result of the impact on the senses of physical energy that is reflected or emitted by objects of the external world.

Thus, we see that, in fact, we have two axes for the organization of human cognitive processes. On the one hand, it is the axis of concrete or abstract reflection of the surrounding world. Sensation and perception give us specific information. Thinking allows you to extract the abstract, categorize objects, form concepts, summarize. And on the other hand, it is the psychological arrow of time, which will be organized along the memory, attention and imagination. And obviously, all these processes are somehow interact with each other. That is difficult to study memory without attention, it is difficult to study without attention to the analysis of perception, thinking without memory. Therefore, modern cognitive psychology seeks to analyze not only the specific processes, but also ideas about the structure of the knowledge of the general, that is, as our cognitive architecture, which gives us knowledge of the world might look like.
