Cognition: groups together the mental processes of perceiving, recognizing, conceiving, judging and reasoning. Cognitive paradigm: focuses on how people and animals structure their experiences, how they make sense of them, and how they relate their current experiences to past ones that have been stored in memory. Cognitive psychologists regard the learner as an active interpreter of a situation, with the learner"s past knowledge imposing a perceptual funnel on the experience. The learner fits new information into an organized network of already accumulated knowledge often referred to as a schema, or cognitive set. Cognitive explanations appear more and more in the search for the causes of abnormality and for new methods of intervention. Places the blame on a particular cognitive set. Cognitive restructuring: is a general term for changing a pattern of thought that is presumed to be causing a disturbed emotion or behaviour.
