The author‚ Rolf A. Zwaan‚ of the article “Mental simulation in language comprehension and social cognition” has talked about the way social cognition and cognitive psychology play a significant role in comprehending the actions and language of sensorimotor simulations. Zwaan has made certain to focus on diverse areas related to the topic‚ in order to get a detailed analysis of how language affects the performance of sensorimotor simulations. The author has regarded language as a sensitive tool that

Learning is all around us‚ we experience it in our everyday lives‚ sometimes without even being aware of it. Theories of learning were introduced centuries ago‚ and being so important and of much significance in Psychology‚ they are continuously studied‚ revised and improved.

If we see something funny we laugh‚ if we fear we run or hide‚ if we are distressed we find it hard to concentrate. However we do not need to present any of the emotions to others‚ we can regulate them‚ think about situations and consequences and estimate the outcome. We are able to control our emotions. Ochsner and Gross(2005‚p.242) argues that capacity

In the study of learning‚ learning theories are categorized into paradigms or schools of thought based on viewpoints shared by scientists that provide a framework for research. Three of the major paradigms of learning theories include the cognitive paradigm‚ the neurophysiological paradigm and the evolutionary paradigm. The first paradigm is referred to as cognitive because theorists place their emphasis on the cognitive nature of learning. According to Hergenhahn and Olson (2005)‚ the second paradigm
