Investigating the cognitive aspects of psychological disorders, aiming to bridge the gap between cognitive science and clinical psychology.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Technologies in Cognition:
There is a growing trend towards exploring the impact of digital technologies, such as virtual reality and AI, on cognitive processes, particularly in rehabilitation and therapy settings. - Embodied and Sensorimotor Approaches:
Recent publications emphasize embodied cognition and sensorimotor interaction as crucial frameworks for understanding cognition, moving beyond traditional cognitive models. - Interpersonal Dynamics in Cognition:
An increasing focus on the relational aspects of cognition, including studies on empathy, social cognition, and the dynamics of caregiver-patient interactions, reflects a shift towards understanding cognition as inherently social. - Neuroscience and Psychopathology Integration:
The integration of neuroscience with cognitive approaches to psychopathology is gaining prominence, particularly in understanding mental disorders through the lens of embodied experience and cognitive function. - Aesthetic Experience and Cognition:
Emerging research is focusing on the aesthetic dimensions of cognition, exploring how creativity, art, and vulnerability influence cognitive processes and emotional experience.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Linguistic Analysis:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers solely focused on traditional linguistic analysis, as the journal shifts towards more interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate cognitive and technological dimensions. - Philosophical Textual Analysis:
While philosophical inquiries remain relevant, there is a waning interest in purely textual analyses of philosophy, with more emphasis now placed on empirical and cognitive approaches. - Static Models of Cognition:
Previous frameworks that viewed cognition as a static process are being replaced by dynamic and embodied perspectives, indicating a decline in interest in traditional cognitive models that do not account for interaction and context.
