The term "cognitive psychology" was first used in 1967 by American psychologist Ulric Neisser in his book Cognitive Psychology. According to Neisser, cognition involves "all processes by which the sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used.
It is concerned with these processes even when they operate in the absence of relevant stimulation, as in images and hallucinations. Given such a sweeping definition, it is apparent that cognition is involved in everything a human being might possibly do; that every psychological phenomenon is a cognitive phenomenon."
This is an introduction to theories based on cognitivism as a an underlying learning theory with ideas of how teachers could adopt these in a teaching context.
Behavioral psychology, also known as behaviorism, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Advocated by famous psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner, behavioral theories dominated psychology during the early half of the twentieth century. Today, behavioral techniques are still widely used in therapeutic settings to help clients learn new skills and behaviors

Language of politics cannot be separated from the politics of language. The notion of "Political Discourse" does not remain limited to the "institutional" field of politics (e.g. parliamentary discourse, election campaigns, party programmes, speeches, etc.) but opens to all linguistic manifestations that may be considered to be political, provided that it is convincingly argued what makes them "political". In order to illuminate new and old forms of political discourses inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives and elaborated linguistic methodologies have to complement each other.
In reality, people do not respond exactly like
Pavlov's dogs. There are, however, numerous real-world applications for classical conditioning. For example, many dog trainers use classical conditioning techniques to help people train their pets.
These techniques are also useful in the treatment of phobias or anxiety problems. Teachers are able to apply classical conditioning in the class by creating a positive classroom environment to help students overcome anxiety or fear. Pairing an anxiety-provoking situation, such as performing in front of a group, with pleasant surroundings helps the student learn new associations

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Cognitive theory _presentation
1. COGNITIVE THEORY Subject> Foreign or Second Language Learning Theories Cognitive theory is a learning theory of psychology that attempts to explain human behavior by understanding the thought processes. Compiled By > Dr ShamimAli National University of Modern Languages Islamabad Class > Mphil First Semester 1 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
2. Widdowson says That language is so uniquely human, distinguishes us so clearly from animals, that our species might be more appropriately named ‘homo loquens’ than ‘homo sapiens’. That human language is ‘species-specific’ and that it is both a ‘generic accomplishment’ as well as ‘genetic endowment’ with which the individual is born. 2 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
3. ANIMAL COMMUNICATION vs HUMAN COMMUNICATION: Language is characterized by its productivity, creativity and open-endedness. Animal communication is restricted to fixed circumstances and sign or gestures have fixed references. For example: bees can communicate only about nectar; dolphins, despite their intelligence and large number of clicks, whistles, and squawks, communicate about same things again and again; and even the clever vervet monkey, claimed to have thirty-six different vocal sounds, is obliged to repeat them over and over again. 3 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
4. language learning as a cognitive skill Conversely, the potential number of utterances in any human language is infinite. Novel utterances are continually created and there is very rare chance for the repetition of same structures uttered by any individual. In this context, the productivity of novel utterances, manipulation and occassional repetition of linguistic resources advocates language learning as a cognitive skill. 4 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
5. Cognition is the Scientific Term for "the Process of Thought.” It refers to the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, including thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, and problem solving. These are higher-level functions of the brain and encompass language, imagination, perception, and planning. 5 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
6. Language: A Cognitive Construct Language is central in our lives. In our global society, this is the case not only of our mother tongue, but also of other second languages required to communicate within the international society in specialized contexts The ability to learn language is a cognitive specialization of our species, thus language is considered to be an essential human feature. 6 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
7. The Cognitive Perspective: Key Theorists & their Contributions Jean Piaget Was the major pioneer of cognitive theory. “How children think is much more important than what they know.” 7 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
8. Wolfgang Kohler Was founder of the Gestalts theory. His studies with Apes led him to a view of problem solving as an active process of insight and on determining the role that mental processes play in determining emotions and behavior. Insight Learning: is a sudden change in the way one organizes a problem. Situation typically this is characterized by a change in behavior from random responding to rule-based responding. 8 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
9. Edward Tolman Developed a concept of “Purposive behaviourism” which emphasised the distinctions between learning and performance and viewed learning in terms of the formation of hypothesis and cognitive maps. Helped to lay the foundations for the cognitive approach 9 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
10. TOLMAN Mental set or schema (Tolman) The method individuals use to organize their perception of a particular situation such as a problem. Latent Learning (Tolman) A term used by Tolman used to describe situations in which learning is distinct from the performance 10 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
11. Miller Is best known for his work in determining Chunking for the Short term memory Chunk: The basic measure of Short term memory capacity representing a meaningful unit, such as random letters number or words. Hermann Ebbinghaus Developed techniques for the experimental study of memory and forgetting. 11 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
12. EndelTulving’s Known for the three distinct forms of long term memory: Procedural memory: Stores “how to” information such as how to play a piano. Semantic memory: Involves general knowledge of how the world, such as knowing the capital of Japan. Episodic memory: Contains personal experiences 12 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
13. Cognitive theory Cognitive theory is a Learning theory of psychology that attempts to explain human behavior by understanding the thought processes. The assumption is that humans are logical beings that make the choices that make the most sense to them. “Information processing” is a commonly used description of the mental process, comparing the human mind to a computer. 13 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
14. Cognitive Development Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. Among the areas of cognitive development are information processing,intelligence, reasoning,language development, and memory. 14 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
15. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget Piaget's theory, first published in 1952, grew out of decades of extensive observation of children, including his own, in their natural environments as opposed to the laboratory experiments of the behaviorists. Although Piaget was interested in how children reacted to their environment, he proposed a more active role for them than that suggested by learning theory. He envisioned a child's knowledge as composed of schemas 15 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
16. Pedagogical & Educational Implications What is Learning? Learning is a process of relating new information to previously learned information. Learning is most likely to occur when an individual can associate new learning with previous knowledge. 16 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
17. LEARNING Mechanical Meaningful meaningless repetition significant & consequential repetition unnaturalistic speech naturalistic speech talk (words are uttered) talk (language is used in a meaningful way) e.g. parrots/budgerigars e.g. humans limited utterances unlimited utterances (finite inputfinite output) (finite input infinite output) no creativity/ productivity creativity/productivity/open-endedness Machine Translation (mental faculties are utilized and optimized) cognition is involved 17 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
18. Cognition & Learning Some learning processes may be unique to human beings. (Example, complex language.) Individuals are actively involved in the learning process. They are not passive receivers of environmental conditions, they are active participants in that learning process. In fact, they can control their own learning. Learning involves the formation of mental associations that are not necessarily reflected in overt behavior changes. This is very contrary to the behaviorist position, where no learning can happen without an external behavior change. This is contrasted with behavioral objectives. Knowledge is organized. An individual's knowledge is self organized through various mental associations and structure 18 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
19. LANGUAGE TEACHING ANDLEARNING There is an old proverb which states: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime”. Applied to the language teaching and learning field, this proverb might be interpreted to mean that if students are provided with answers, the immediate problem is solved. But if they are taught the strategies to work out the answers for themselves, they are empowered to manage their own learning. 19 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
20. Cognition & Second Language Learning Second language learning pertains to the adult learning as compared to the first/native language learning of a child. Psychologists and psycholinguists viewed 2nd language learning as the acquisition of complex cognitive skill which involve application of sub-skills: grammatical rules, choosing the appropriate vocabulary, following the pragmatic conventions governing the use of a specific language. These sub-skills become automatic with practice. 20 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
21. COGNITIVIST’S POINT OF VIEW From the cognitivist’s point of view, language acquisition is dependent in both content and developmental sequencings on prior cognitive abilities. Hence, requires cognitive learning strategies and style and approach to learn and acquire both L1 & L2 21 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
22. Assimilation and Accommodation Assimilation and Accommodation are the two complementary processes of Adaptation described by Piaget, through which awareness of the outside world is internalised 22 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
23. Assimilation In Assimilation, what is perceived in the outside world is incorporated into the internal world (note that I am not using Piagetian terminology), without changing the structure of that internal world, but potentially at the cost of "squeezing" the external perceptions to fit — hence pigeon-holing and stereotyping. If you are familiar with databases, you can think of it this way: your mind has its database already built, with its fields and categories already defined. If it comes across new information which fits into those fields, it can assimilate it without any trouble 23 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
25. Accommodation In Accommodation, the internal world has to accommodate itself to the evidence with which it is confronted and thus adapt to it, which can be a more difficult and painful process. In the database analogy, it is like what happens when you try to put in information which does not fit the pre-existent fields and categories. You have to develop new ones to accommodate the new information. In reality, both are going on at the same time, so that—just as the mower blade cuts the grass, the grass gradually blunts the blade—although most of the time we are assimilating familiar material in the world around us, nevertheless, our minds are also having to adjust to accommodate it. 25 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
27. MAIN CONCERN OF PIAGET’S THEORY Piaget was mainly concerned with children's developing understanding of the world, so for him (and for children) accommodation is no more problematic than assimilation. That does not necessarily hold as we grow older. We have ways of understanding our world which work for us, as relatively successful (i.e. surviving) adults. There is no problem in assimilating new information and ideas which fit with this world-view, but we find it increasingly difficult to accommodate to new stuff. One cognitive problem of ageing has been well labelled "hardening of the categories"! 27 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
28. Aspects of Cognitive Theory Constructivism Emphasises Kelly's Personal Construct Theory Kolb's work on the Cycle of Adult Learning. Pask distinguishes between Holist and Serialist Learning Strategies. Hudson distinguishes between Convergent and Divergent Cognitive Styles, Bateson disentangles various levels of Learning Contextualised by the one above. Festinger's theory of Cognitive Dissonance 28 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
29. Declarative knowledge Is defined as the factual information stored in memory and known to be static in nature. Other names, e.g. descriptive knowledge, propositional knowledge, etc. are also given. It is the part of knowledge which describes how things are. Things/events/processes, their attributes, and the relations between these things/events/processes and their attributes define the domain of declarative knowledge. Procedural knowledge is the knowledge of how to perform, or how to operate. Names such as know-how are also given. It is said that one becomes more skilled in problem solving when he relies more on procedural knowledge than declarative knowledge. 29 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
30. Declarative knowledge Declarative Knowledge Is factual knowledge. For example knowing that "A cathode ray tube is used to project a picture in most televisions" is declarative knowledge. Propositional knowledge or declarative knowledge is knowledge or the possession of information that is either true or false. Declarative knowledge is assertion-oriented. It describes objects and events by specifying the properties which characterize them; it does not pay attention to the actions needed to obtain a result, but only on its properties. 30 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
31. Procedural Knowledge Procedural Knowledge Is related to the procedure to carry an action out. For example, a method to balance a checkbook would be considered procedural knowledge. Knowledge about "how" to do something is procedural knowledge. Procedural knowledge is instruction-oriented. It focuses on how to obtain a result 31 Compiled By Dr Shamim Ali
