Cognitiveism originated from the Gestalt Psychology. This school believes that learning is realized through feelings and perceptions, and is realized by the subjective organization of the human brain. It is proposed that learning relies on epiphany rather than on trial and error. The point of realization. The theory’s view on “learning” is: the psychological phenomenon of learning, the connection between the negative stimulus (S) and the reaction (R) is direct and mechanical. It is believed that people’s behavior is based on the “internal state of the organism” – consciousness as the intermediary link, subject to the consciousness, they replace the SR formula with the formula of SOR (O is the intermediary link); learning is not in the formation of the connection between stimulation and reaction And relying on subjective structuring to form a “cognitive structure”, the subject does not mechanically receive stimuli in the learning, passively responds, but actively and selectively acquires stimuli and processes; research on learning problems, Focus on internal processes and internal conditions, mainly on the nature of people’s intelligent activities (including perception, learning, memory, language, thinking) and their activities. Simply put, we are not mechanically accepting the stimulus, but actively explaining the relevant stimulus.

Behaviorists acknowledged the existence of thinking, but identified it as a behavior. Cognitivists argued that the way people think impacts their behavior and oligomer cannot be a behavior in and of itself. Cognitivists later argued that thinking is so essential to psychology that the study of thinking Should become its own field. However, cognitivists typically presuppose a specific form of mental activity, of the kind advanced by computationalism.
