Defining Cognitive Intervention

At its very core, cognitive interventions are a set of techniques used in therapies & counselling based on the science of cognitive psychology aimed at influencing or changing problematic behaviours or affecting the state of the patient/subject for behavioural modification. Cognitive Psychology is a specialized branch of said science that studies the workings of mental processes such as problem solving, memory & language. Cognitivism, as the theory & practice is known, seeks to explain how people understand, diagnose & solve problems, looking at the cause & effect relationship of stimulus & the corresponding reaction to it. Based on the Gestalt psychology theories of Wertheirmer, Köhler, Koffka & Piaget (whose cognitive research on child development became invaluable in understanding the incremental changes in ability & cognition), the practice provides two rules on cognitive solutions through intervention: Algorithms & Heuristics. These solutions are seen as 'rules', the first are rules that are not fully understood, they however guarantee a solution. The reason why they are not fully understood as yet is due to the fact that they are not fully explored or explained due to their complexity. Heuristics on the other hand are rules that are already explored & understood. Practicing them however does not always guarantee a solution. In Cognitive interventions though, a close study of the subjects result to insights that allow solutions to present itself, with the solution unique to the case.
