Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Cognitivism, also known as cognitive psychology, is a theoretical perspective within psychology that views the mind as an information-processing system. This perspective emphasizes the mental processes that occur between stimulus and response, and seeks to understand how these processes are influenced by a person's prior knowledge, motivation, and experiences. The cognitivist perspective emerged as a response to behaviorist theories, which emphasized observable behaviors and rejected the study of internal mental states and processes. Cognitivists, on the other hand, posit that cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, problem-solving, and reasoning play a central role in shaping behavior. To study these processes, cognitive psychologists use a range of research methodologies, including laboratory experiments, computer simulations, and brain imaging techniques to gain insights into the workings of the human mind. This interdisciplinary approach has led to the development of several influential theories, such as the information-processing theory, which posits that the mind operates like a computer, processing information in a series of stages; and the modularity of mind theory, which suggests that different mental processes are specialized for different functions. Overall, the cognitivist perspective has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the mind and has provided a framework for understanding human behavior that integrates psychological, neurological, and computational perspectives.
