Cognitivism is a methodology for the study of art, particularly audience responses to art, that relies on research in cognitive psychology. Although the term is used more in humanistic disciplines than scientific ones, the methodology is inherently interdisciplinary due to its reliance on both humanistic and scientific research. Cognitivism is a departure from methodologies that have dominated studies of art in the past, particularly in literary and film theory, which have not employed scientific research. In some cases, particularly since the rise in the 1970s of psychoanalytic, ideological, semiotic, and Marxist approaches to theory in humanities research in Western academia, cognitivism has been explicitly rejected due to its reliance on science, which some scholars in those schools believe offers false claims to truth and objectivity. Within aesthetic research, cognitivism has been most successful in literary and film studies, where it generally aims to explain audience comprehension, emotional elicitation, and aesthetic preference. Although some cognitivists, such as Torben Grodal, also employ ideas from evolutionary psychology in their work, there is no necessary connection between these approaches, and many cognitivists do not agree with conclusions made by evolutionary psychologists.〔Grodal, T. (2009). Embodied Visions: Evolution, Emotion, Culture, and Film. Oxford University Press, USA. 〕 Cognitivism is considered to have been introduced to film studies by David Bordwell's 1982 book ''Narration in the Fiction Film''.〔Bordwell, D. (1985). Narration in the Fiction Film. Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin Press.〕 Cognitive film studies is now prominent enough in film studies to be included in textbooks that survey film theory.〔Elsaesser, T., & Hagener, M. (2010). Film theory : an introduction through the senses. New York: Routledge.〕〔Stam, R. (2000). Film Theory: An Introduction. Wiley-Blackwell.〕 Cognitivism is considered a naturalistic discipline in that it discusses concepts it believes are ultimately grounded in observable evidence. Prominent cognitivists include Murray Smith, Carl Plantinga, Patrick Colm Hogan, and Joseph Anderson. ==See also== * Cognitive neuroscience of music * Darwinian literary studies * Aesthetics * Neuroesthetics * Cognitive Semiotics * David Bordwell * Film theory 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cognitivism (aesthetics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
