Language
A system of rules for forming grammatical sentences
What is a Syntax?
Quantify experimental manipulation that you impose on your subjects in an experiment.
What is Independent variable?
This is associated with the idea "Neurons that fire together wire together"
What is Hebbian learning?
These systems are Logical, transparent, but brittle (example SHRDLU)
What are Rule based systems?
a collaborative interdisciplinary study of the mind
What is cognitive science?
Chomsky’s theory that all the world’s languages have a core grammatical commonality is called
What is Universal Grammer?
You quantify this experimental measure that you will record from your subjects and treat as index of some perceptual or cognitive process.
What is your dependent variable?
The gap between neuron A’s axon and neuron B’s dendrite, across which neurotransmitters travel to transmit an electrochemical signal that will affect neuron B’s likelihood of having an action potential
What is a synaptic cleft? or synaptic gap?
This AI technique is inspired by biological evolution
What are genetic Algorithms
Cognitive psychology began largely as a response to?
What is Behaviorism?
This _has three key features structure, automatic, and is incremental
What is Language?
The signal is absent, but the person says it was present
What is a "False Alarm" In Signal Detection theory?
The region in the left temporal lobe of the brain, where damage is correlated with deficits in language comprehension (but fluent language production).
What is Wernicke's Area?
In traditional AI approaches, a tree-search algorithm, that looked first at a long sequency of potential moves and counter moves is this kind of search
What is Depth-first?
The class of philosophical theories of the mind in which one postulates both a physical brain that influences behavior to some degree and a non-physical mind that also influences behavior
What is Dualism?
When a single unit in a system encodes (all by itself) the meaning of an external stimulus
What is a grandmother cell?
These four major theoretical movements in experimental psychology over the past century
follow what order in time (starting with the oldest)
Introspectionism, Behaviorism, Information-Processing, Connectionism
The intense1-millisecond electrochemical impulse produced by a neuron, which sends signals to other neurons via this neuron’s connections with them
What is an action potential?
This Network compares output to the target (“teacher”), Calculates error and pushes corrections back through the layers. and is Very powerful (basis of modern deep learning).
What is Backpropagation?
An entity can be simultaneously in multiple states before it is observed is an example of what thought experiment in philosophy.
What is Schrödinger's cat thought experiment
Voicing – whether vocal cords vibrate (/b/ voiced, /p/ voiceless), Place of articulation– where in mouth sound is made (lips, tongue, teeth) and Manner – how airflow is shaped (stop, fricative, nasal) are all features of these.
What is phonology?
The following is the first stage in Cognitive Psychology idealized description of human information processing
What is Detection?
This has one axon and many dendrites.
What is a neuron?
This will have “input units,” a layer of “output units,” and sometimes also an intermediate layer of units called "hidden units"
What is a multi-layer artificial neural network?
The view that psychology should be concerned only with observable input (stimuli) and the resulting output (responses), rather than postulating intervening mental states and operations.
What is Behaviorism?
