5. The Origin
The term “cognitive
psychology” was first used in
1967 by American
psychologist Ulric Neisser in
his book Cognitive
Psychology.
According to Neisser,
cognition involves “all
processes by which the
sensory input is transformed,
reduced, elaborated, stored,
recovered, and used.”

6. The Origin...
Neisser also suggested
that, cognition was involved in
anything and everything that
people do.
All psychological events are
cognitive events.
The American Psychological
Association defines cognitive
psychology as the “study of
higher mental processes such as
attention, language
use, memory, perception,
problem solving, and thinking.”

7. Evolution of Cognition school of
thought...
• Cognitive psychology emerged during the 1960s and 70s and has become a
major force in the field of psychology.
• Cognitive psychologists are interested in mental processes including how
people take in, store, and utilize information.
• Cognitive psychology often relies on an information processing model that
likens the human mind to a computer.

8. The Concept
Cognitive psychology is the area of
psychology that focuses on internal mental
processes.
The Study of How people perceive, learn,
remember and think about information. ?

9. Cognition (Mental process)Includes...
THINKING, DECISION-
MAKING,
PROBLEM-
SOLVING,
ATTENTION, MEMORY, L
LANGUAGE AND
READING.

11. How Do Psychologists Study Cognition?
Cognitive psychologists rely on rigorous scientific methods to research the
human mind.
For example, a memory experiment might involve having randomly
assigned participants taking a series of memory tests
By using rigorous empirical methods, psychologists are able to accurately
determine that it is the independent variable causing the changes rather than
some other factor.

12. Implications/Use....
Students who are interested in behavioral neuroscience, linguistics, industrial-
organizational psychology, artificial intelligence, and other related areas.
Teachers, curriculum designers, instructional developers, and other
educators may find it helpful to learn more about how people process, learn,
and remember information.
Engineers, scientists, artists, architects, and designers can all benefit from
understanding internal mental states and processes.
Findings from the field of cognitive psychology apply in many areas
including to our understanding of learning, memory, moral development,
attention, decision-making, problem-solving, perceptions.
