Cognitivism
In Psychologie, the cognitivism indicates the current of scientific research endorsing the assumption that the thought is a treatment of the Information. One generally registers it in the computo-représentationnelle Approche of the spirit having course in the cognitive Sciences.
The cognitivism is initially a Paradigme scientific made up at the time of the Révolution cognitivist of the Années 1950 which saw to unify various scientific disciplines in particular the Psychologie, the Linguistique the Artificial intelligence, the Neurosciences, the Anthropologie and the Philosophie, in a super-discipline which took the name of cognitive Sciences. The central role of the Cognition (human, but also artificial and animal) in this paradigm marks its opposition to the behaviorist tradition (or behaviorist) which had course in psychology hitherto.
Psychological Cognitivism and philosophical cognitivism
The psychological cognitivism is according to the authors associated or not with a functionalist Physicalisme which establishes a separation between the material biological constituting the Nervous system (the “Hardware” of the Ordinateur) and the mental operations which are carried out (the “programs” or “Software”).
Application to the Sciences of education
Certain authors sought to apply the theoretical principles of the cognitivism to the Sciences of education among those one can quote the Québécois professors, Robert Gagné and Jacques Tardif.
