Cognitive Dissonance - Modeling in Neural Networks

Modeling in Neural Networks

Neural network models of cognition have provided the necessary framework to integrate the empirical research done on cognitive dissonance and attitudes into one model of explanation of attitude formation and change.

Various neural network models have been developed to predict how cognitive dissonance will influence an individual's attitude and behavior. These include:

  • Parallel Constraint Satisfaction Processes
  • The Meta-Cognitive ModelMeta-Cognitive Model (MCM) of attitudes
  • Adaptive connectionist model of cognitive dissonance
  • Attitudes as constraint satisfaction model

Famous quotes containing the words modeling and/or networks:

    The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.
    Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)

    To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.
    Louise Lague (20th century)
