The cognitive sciences: preamble to understand the operation of the schemes of the human being

Abstract

Several generations of cognitive science studies have resulted in a wide variety of theories. In these, different aspects of the system that allow the human being to function in different environments are addressed. This is possible, because the brain system is plastic (adaptable), restructures itself on a scale of reality, imperceptible to the human senses. Along with this quality, there are others that encode information. That is the case of the mirror neuronal system that encodes the intentions of others, which allows us to understand each other. Learning schemes can be structured, considering the holographic model of the mind, which exposes the way in which consciousness is distributed throughout the brain system and functions as a mechanism for information retrieval from different areas. These systems have as a product what in neuroscience is called memory, which is individual and collective. Finally, language supports these mental capacities and allows the communicative manifestation of the schemes, through interaction with others.
