Social cognition is the mental activity relating to social activities,
Social cognition is the mental activity relating to social activities, and helps us meet the goal
for understanding individuals’ behavior as well as our own. Cognitive heuristics enable us
to think in ways that are quick and easy but sometimes may lead to error. Consider some of
your beliefs about people you know. Do you think that your behaviors toward them lead
you to maintain your expectations about them? Next, think about a time you made a snap
judgement about another person. Did your expectations about people influence your
judgments of this person? Was the judgement fair or unfair?Scholarly write in APA format
1000-1500 words on the following:With these questions in mind, explain how and when
schemas and attitudes do and do not change as a result of the operation of accommodation
and assimilation. Next, outline the ways schemas are likely to be maintained through
processes that create assimilation. Then, differentiate and give examples of cognitive
heuristics that influence social judgement, and the possibilities of your judgments may
simply be wrong.
