Question:

A weakness of the cognitive approach?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Approach is too deterministic -It ccan be seen to be founded on soft determinsim, eg: it recognises that our cognitive system can only operate within the limits of what we know, but that we are free to think before responding to a stimulus -This is a more 'interactionist' position than the hard determinism suggested by some other approaches Therefore, this approach can be said to not fully take into the account the influence of genes and environemntal factors that can influence human behaviours which can be said to lower the internal validity of the approach.
