Cognitivistics and its place in the scientific world

Cognitivists apply two classical computational methods aimed at modeling cognitive systems:

Symbolism is based on the idea that human thinking is analogous to the thinking of a computer that has a central processor and processes character data streams
Connectionism is based on the idea that human thinking can not be likened to a computer processor, because this is incompatible with neurobiological data on brain activity; thinking can be stimulated by artificial neural.
In the classical approach of cognitive science, the problem of the relationship between consciousness and the brain was ignored, as was the problem of the interrelation between the psychological and neurobiological sciences, which was the cause of one of the failures of cognitive science in the past.

Cognitivistics today
Modern cognitivism (or cognitive neurobiology) uses brain imaging techniques that allow, on an experimental level, to prove the connection between mental phenomena and brain physiology. And if in the past the traditional cognitive science did not take into account human consciousness, then today's cognitivism does not just take consciousness into account - it is one of the main objects of its research.

If you try to divide all the cognitive into parts, then you can be amazed at how many components it contains.

That progress, which is observed in cognitive science at the present time, according to scientists, can help mankind reveal those secrets that conceals the mind in other words, describe in detail the processes taking place in the human brain and responsible for the activity of the higher nervous system.

Meanwhile, it remains only to follow the development of this unique scientific direction.
