WHAT IS COGNITION? cognitive approach explains differences in personality. T o understand the internal processes of their mind . ( Perception ,attention, memory & thinking etc. ). Cognition literally means “knowing ”.
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 a specific task or tool.
Application of Cognitive model to Abnormal psychology REBT: Albert Ellis : 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.

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 BEHAVIOR PERSONAL FACTORS EVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Learning of aggressive behavior: Bandura and his colleagues conducted many experiments on the observational study of learning of aggressive behavior of children. What Is Aggressive Behavior? Aggressive behavior is behavior that causes physical or emotional harm to others, or threatens to.
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.
COGNITIVE-SOCIAL (ONE PERSON INTRACT WITH OTHERS) "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 a question 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."
