Question:

What is a weakness of the cogntive approach ?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Too reductionist as it ignroes the role of biology on human behaviour, the idea of machine reductionism. -Approach does not consider the role of genetics and hormones on human behaviour. -Eg: an individual ability to recall or process information may be due to abnormal levels of a specific hormones. -Therefore, the approach doesn't take into account environmental factors and reduce human behaviours to something like a computer, lack ecological validity
