| | Psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Clinical psychology is the application of psychology to the understanding, treatment, and assessment of psychopathology, behavioral or mental health issues. | | | Cognitive science is very closely related to cognitive psychology, but differs in some of the research methods used, and has a slightly greater emphasis on explaining mental phenomena in terms of both behavior and neural processing. | | | Cognitive psychology studies cognition, the mental processes underlying behavior. |

| | Cognitive psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Cognitive psychology is the psychological science that studies cognition, the mental processes that underlie behavior, including thinking, deciding, reasoning, and to some extent motivation and emotion. | | | Cognitive psychology is one of the more recent additions to psychological research, having only developed as a separate area within the discipline since the late 1950s and early 1960s (though there are examples of cognitive thinking from earlier researchers). | | | This way of conceiving mental processes has pervaded psychology more generally over the past few decades, and it is not uncommon to find cognitive theories within social psychology, personality, abnormal psychology, developmental psychology; the application of cognitive theories in comparative psychology has led to many recent studies in animal cognition. |

| | Cognitive psychology began with a reemerging interest in mental processes. | | | Another important influence in the founding of cognitive psychology was the British psychologist, Sir Frederic Bartlett. | | | Jerome Bruner, another founder of cognitive psychology, researched perception through a program called New Look, that viewed perception as a “joint function of both the stimulus and the state of the organism”. |

| | Cognitive Psychology |
| | The main reason is that cognitive psychology is characterized by a particular approach to its subject matter: the information-processing approach. | | | Behaviourism, the dominant approach within psychology before the rise of cognitive psychology, was shown to be unable to explain the acquisition and use of language. | | | At the heart of cognitive psychology is the notion that cognition involves processes acting on and transforming symbolic representations in ways that allow the organism to model the external world internally. |

| | Applications and Misapplications |
| | Cognitive psychology rose up in response to the simplistic conception of human exemplified by the behaviorist views of Skinner, which he represented in Frazier's views. | | | The modern information-processing approach in cognitive psychology would recommend careful analysis of the goals of instruction and thorough empirical study of the efficacy of instructional approaches. | | | In fact, cognitive psychology has now progressed a long way toward such a theory, and, as we have seen, a great deal is already known that can be applied, and is beginning to be applied, to improve learning processes. |

| | Cognitive Science |
| | Like cognitive psychology, neuroscience is often theoretical as well as experimental, and theory development is frequently aided by developing computational models of the behavior of groups of neurons. | | | Cognitive science is becoming increasingly aware of the need to view the operations of mind in particular physical and social environments. | | | Although the computational-representational approach to cognitive science has been successful in explaining many aspects of human problem solving, learning, and language use, some philosophical critics such as Hubert Dreyfus (1992) and John Searle (1992) have claimed that this approach is fundamentally mistaken. |

| | Applying Cognitive Psychology Principles to Education and Training |
| | Cognitive research has indicated that many traditional approaches to teaching and training are inadequate as they fail to take into account learners cognitive architecture and in particular the limited processing capacity of working memory. | | | Cognitive load theory asserts that when instructional information is presented to students, the amount of mental load placed on working memory will be the critical factor in determining how effective learning has been. | | | Further research examining the intrinsic cognitive load associated with learning instructional materials indicates that instructional interventions are most effective in areas where the material involves a substantial intellectual component generated by a high degree of element interactivity. |
