Bridging Minds: Linking the Constructs of Cognitive Psychology with Artificial Intelligence

Dr. Meena Tripathi, Arya Kaushik

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive psychology are two unique but overlapping disciplines that have also impacted the other significantly. Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that deals with knowing human mental processes. Within psychology, the cognitive approach is centered on how mental processes, feelings, imagination, and problem - solving capacities interact with each other to impact how and why you think the way you think. Cognitive psychology contrasts various aspects of cognition, quantifies various forms of intelligence, and identifies how your mind is structured. The computer or software intelligence, as opposed to the living being's intelligence, primarily humans, is referred to as artificial intelligence (AI). It is a computer science field that deals with the development and study of intelligent machines. AIs may be a name used for the identification of these devices. AI, enables computers and other technologies to replicate human intelligence and capacity to solve problems. It is able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence or intervention, by itself or in combination with other technologies (including sensors, geolocation, and robotics). AI is a part of computer science which encompasses artificial learning and deep learning as subsections and is most often considered along with them. In such fields, algorithms that simulate the process of decision - making by a human being using artificial intelligence are constructed with a facility to "learn" through available data and provide increasingly more accurate predictions and categorizations based on time. Blending human psychological mind and artificial intelligence, it is possible to mimic the perceptual cognition and rationality of the "brain" alongside the emotional communications that are the human - machine or human - machine sort. This paper discusses the interaction between cognitive psychology and AI, how ideas from this feild have shaped the development and application of AI systems, and how AI has also influenced our knowledge of human cognition. By a discussion of some major theories, methods, and applications, this essay seeks to clarify the mutual relationship between these fields and its consequences for future research and technology advancement.
