The document explores cognitive models in abnormal psychology, emphasizing how cognition influences emotions and behaviors through belief systems, as proposed by theorists like Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck. It further discusses cognitive development, social learning theory by Julian Rotter and Albert Bandura, highlighting the impact of observational learning on behavior such as aggression. The text concludes with the importance of social cognition in understanding interpersonal relationships and defines intelligence quotient and emotional quotient in terms of their significance.

2. WHA
T IS COGNITION?
• cognitive approach explains differences
in personality.
• To understand the internal processes
of their mind. (Perception ,attention,
memory& thinking etc.).
• Cognition literally means “knowing”.

3. COGNITVE MODEL:
The model describes how people’s perception,
or spontaneous thoughts about a certain situation
influence their emotional, behavioral (and often
physiological) reactions. Cognitive model tend to be
focused on a single cognitive phenomenon or process,
and how two or more processes interact to make
behavioral predictions for aspecific task or tool.

4. Application of Cognitive model
to Abnormal psychology
• who developed (REBT).According to Ellis, people
become depressed, anxious, upset because of
faulty reasoning and a reliance on irrational
beliefs and that people do not respond
emotionally to events in the world but to their
‘beliefs’ about those events. Ellis described this
as an A-B-C process.

According to Beck (1987), psychological
difficulties are due to automatic thoughts,
dysfunctional assumptions, and negative
self-statements.

15. BEHAVIOR
◦Social-cognitive theory:
◦Bandura proposes that internal states, the environment, and
behavior all affect one another. He maintains that people often
regulate their own behavior and that we engage in purposeful,
◦future-oriented thinking.
ALBERT
BANDURA
’S
THEORY

17. Learning of aggressive behavior:
Bandura and his colleagues conducted
manyexperiments on the observational
study of learning of aggressive behavior
of children.
What Is Aggressive Behavior?
Aggressive behavior is behavior
thatcauses physical or emotional
harm to
others, or threatens to.

19. Conclusion
The findings support Bandura's
(1977) Social Learning Theory.
That is, children learn social
behavior such as aggression
through the process of observation
learning - through watching the
behavior of another person. This
study has important implications for
the effects of media violence on
children.

"Thus the study of the processes involved
in perceiving each other and coming to "know
what we know" about the people in our world is
essentially aquestion not only of what behavior we
have seen, but of our cognition as individual
perceivers-our social cognition. Social cognition,
therefore, is the study of the mental processes
involved in perceiving, attending to, remembering,
thinking about, and making sense of the people in
our social world."
