Psychoeducation Tensor Framework as a Cognitive Architecture for the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) Framework

Abstract

The psychoeducation tensor (PET) framework integrates a thorough array of cognitive theoretical models into a single minimalist 4x4 matrix essential symmetry of cognition that internally mirrors the Metric tensor. The PET framework was developed as a core organizational cognitive architecture for the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) nosology framework. Therefore, PET framework was designed to help reduce psychological distress and mental perplexity via psychoeducation. This article describes clinical conditions associated with the DSM-5 TR with the use of non-deficit language to minimize stigmatizing language.
