Cognitive Psychology

Cognitive psychology encompasses the broad study of mental processes including learning, memory, attention, sensation and perception, thought patterns, language, navigation, and more. Scholars in this area may use questionnaires, ongoing feedback about daily activities and thoughts, and imaging techniques to understand how the mind stores, processes, and uses information. Like other areas of psychology, cognitive psychology can be applied to many different contexts, such as education, artificial intelligence and technology, comparative cognition, user experience (UX), and sport psychology. Cognitive Psychologists develop the knowledge and skills that can help organizations, schools, and businesses succeed, given their strong understanding of what influences the inner processes of the mind.
