Description

This lecture reviews three main concepts of the theory of structural cognitive modifiability and their relationships – the concept of “modifiability”, the concept of “cognition” and the concept of “structure”. The concept of modifiability is compared to the concept of information accumulated by an individual and linked to more recent discoveries in the field of neural plasticity. The relationships between cognition, behavior and emotions are discussed. Three main criteria of structural change are elaborated. These theoretical concepts are illustrated by clinical and educational examples, including those of the Instrumental Enrichment program.
