“…Thus, cognitions are experienced through perceptual processes, selective attention, learning and memorization (Pelet, 2008). Steiner (2005) also defines cognitions as a knowledge production and a set of mental processes that reflect knowledge acquisition, memorization, reasoning and judgment. In line with this debate, Mitchell et al (2002, p. 10) define entrepreneurial cognitions, in particular, as "the knowledge structures that people use to make assessments, judgment, or decisions involving opportunity evaluation, venture creation and growth".…”

“…Based on findings from a wide range of studies, cognitive response seems fundamental to understand the individuals' responses to environmental stimuli (Smith and Swinyard, 1988). Several researchers have highlighted the importance of cognitivism and cognitions in the shaping individuals' attitudes and behaviors (Pasquier et al, 2006;Steiner, 2005;Pasquier and Chaib-draa, 2005;Festinger, 1957). Indeed, cognitivism is a paradigm that is based on knowledge development (Panzoli, 2008), interpretation and cognitive assessment.…”

“…In another perspective, connexionism is another psycho-cognitive approach that emphasizes the importance of individual cognition and how it functions in the human brain. According to Steiner (2005), connexionism is different from cognitivism to the extent that it does not consider the human brain as a computer, but rather an extensive neural network that replaces the notion of symbolic representations. Cognition is no longer a set of symbolic representations and prescriptive rules, but is a set of global states belonging to a network of interrelated information (Tiberghien, 1999).…”

“…Yet, the connexionism paradigm upholds the interaction between the individual cognitions. In fact, knowledge and cognitions are stored and activated in the human memory through an extensive neural network (Steiner, 2005). To the best of our knowledge, few works have highlighted the interaction between the trainees' entrepreneurial cognitions and their combined effect on entrepreneurial intention so far.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to clarify the impact of the entrepreneurial training on a Tunisian trainee’s entrepreneurial cognitions and intention. An interactive cognitive perspective was adopted to test the interaction effect between the entrepreneurial cognitions: the perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy, the perceived entrepreneurial feasibility and entrepreneurial desirability. A research model was built showing several relationships between entrepreneurial training, cognitions and intention. Design/methodology/approach – A survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 240 participants in four business incubators. The maximum-likelihood test was used as a structural equation modeling method to test the model. Findings – The results show the importance of the entrepreneurial training in the development of entrepreneurial cognitions. Further, the findings, to some extent, validate the interaction between the entrepreneurial cognitive patterns. However, entrepreneurial intention was only predicted through the entrepreneurial desirability. Several implications are discussed at the end of this paper. Practical implications – The findings seem interesting insofar, as they show the importance of entrepreneurial trainings in the entrepreneurial intention development through the enhancement of desirability. This process can be triggered by a training program that contains case studies, success stories and conferences to make the youth enthusiastic about self-employment. Originality/value – The significant impact of the entrepreneurial training on trainees’ cognitions should encourage governments and incubators to promote entrepreneurial training programs to enhance the youths’ willingness to create their own businesses. The findings in this paper seem interesting insofar as they show the importance of entrepreneurial trainings in the entrepreneurial intention development through the enhancement of desirability. This process can be triggered by a training program that contains case studies, success stories and conferences to make the youth enthusiastic about self-employment.

“…Qualifiée caricaturalement de « modèle de la commande » (Durand & Arzel, 1997) par opposition au « modèle de l'autonomie », l'approche de la cognition symbolique a été critiquée sur la base d'un ensemble d'éléments dont le représentationnalisme, le computationnalisme, le naturalisme, le fonctionnalisme, le caractère prescrit de l'action et de la cognition, la décontextualisation, le confinement de la cognition à l'esprit de l'acteur, etc. (Steiner, 2005). (Malcuit, Pomerleau & Maurice, 1995).…”
