Unreferenced date March 2011 Computational cognition is the study of the computational basis of learning and inference by mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and behavioral experiments, seeking to learn the basis behind the processing of information. Propositions Section OR date March 2011 To make cognition computable , the following tasks should be addressed first How to define the states and the metric systems of cognition. How to measure a cognition. In 2004, Tao Yang Wuxi Tao Yang suggested a way to put cognition into a framework that is dual to the universe . He called such a framework the cognition, and called the Universe Cognition pair the Unicogse. Theory of the Unicogse The theory of the Unicogse provides a way to assign measurable means to the foundations of cognition information and truth. Information plays the same role in the Cognition as matter plays in the universe. Truth plays the same role in the Cognition as energy plays in the universe. By doing so, we expect to measure truth and information in the cognition just like we do for energy and matter in the universe. This is a way to make cognition measurable .

Hot cognition is a motivated reasoning phenomenon in which a person s responses often emotional to stimuli are heightened. Hot cognition is a theory relative to cognitive processes and learning motivation. Hot cognition might be associated with cognitive arousal , in which a person is much more responsive to environmental factors regardless of the response s impact on learning. A learner who displays hot cognition is highly attentive and interactive with information. Sometimes the learner will respond based on emotion, without analyzing the response. Hot cognition makes it difficult for a person to calm down to analyze the process properly. Hot cognition is the opposite of cold cognition, which is excessively critical and over analyzing. Hot cognition deals with feeling, desires, and emotion. ref Kunda, Z. 1990 . http psycnet.apa.org index.cfm?fa search.displayRecord&uid 1991 06436 001 The case for motivated reasoning.

Merge Animal cognition date June 2008 Comparative cognition is the comparative study of the mechanisms and origins of cognition in various species . From a biological point of view, work is being done on the brains of Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies that should yield techniques precise enough to allow an understanding of the workings of the human brain on a scale appreciative of individual groups of neurons rather than the more regional scale previously used. Similarly, gene activity in the human brain is better understood through examination of the brains of mice by the Seattle based Allen Institute for Brain Science see link below , yielding the freely available Allen Brain Atlas . This type of study is related to comparative cognition, but better classified as one of comparative genomics . Increasing emphasis in psychology and ethology on the biological aspects of perception and behavior is bridging the gap between genomics and behavioral analysis .

The concept of motor cognition grasps the notion that cognition is embodied in action, and that the motor system participates in what is usually considered as mental processing, including those involved in social interaction . ref Sommerville, J. A., & Decety, J. 2006 . Weaving the fabric of social interaction Articulating developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience in the domain of motor cognition. Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 13, 179 200. ref The fundamental unit of the motor cognition paradigm is action, defined as the movements produced to satisfy an intention towards a specific motor goal , or in reaction to a meaningful event in the physical and social environments. Motor cognition takes into account the preparation and production of actions, as well as the processes involved in recognizing, predicting, mimicking and understanding the behavior of other people. This paradigm has received a great deal of attention and empirical support in recents years from a variety of research domains including developmental psychology , cognitive neuroscience , and social psychology . Perception action coupling The idea of a continuity between the different aspects of motor cognition is not new. In fact, this idea can be traced to the work of the American psychologist William James and more recently, American neurophysiologist and Nobel prize winner Roger Sperry .

Cognitive Numerical cognition is a subdiscipline of cognitive science that studies the cognitive, developmental and neural bases of number s and mathematics . As with many cognitive science endeavors, this is a highly interdisciplinary topic, and includes researchers in cognitive psychology , developmental psychology , neuroscience and cognitive linguistics . This discipline, although it may interact with questions in the philosophy of mathematics is primarily concerned with empirical questions. Topics included in the domain of numerical cognition include How do non human animals process numerosity? How do infants acquire an understanding of numbers and how much is inborn ? How do humans associate linguistic symbols with numerical quantities? How do these capacities underlie our ability to perform complex calculations? What are the neural bases of these abilities, both in humans and in non humans? What metaphorical capacities and processes allow us to extend our numerical understanding into complex domains such as the concept of infinity , the infinitesimal or the concept of the limit mathematics limit in calculus? Comparative studies A variety of research has demonstrated that non human animals, including rats, lions and various species of primates have an approximate sense of number referred to as numerosity for a review, see Harvnb Dehaene 1997 . For example, when a rat is trained to press a bar 8 or 16 times to receive a food reward, the number of bar presses will approximate a Gaussian distribution Gaussian or Normal distribution with peak around 8 or 16 bar presses. When rats are more hungry, their bar pressing behavior is more rapid, so by showing that the peak number ... between number and other cognitive processes There is evidence that numerical cognition is intimately related to other aspects of thought particularly spatial cognition.
