(perception), cognizing ( cognition)
, sensing ( sensation) the environment in
which we live.
This implies sciences which can enable us
understand and explain behaviour (
machines and man)
 Psychology is a science that studies behaviour and
mental processes of humans and animals.
 Everything behaves but human behaviour is particular
( observable and inobservable behaviour).
 Psychology is not common sense . Distinction between
implicit psychology and explicit psychology.
 A psychologist cannot know how people behave if
he/she does not have a scientific background.
 Psychology is everywhere in our day to day lives
 All the branches of psychology study an
aspect of behaviour.
 Examples of this subdisciplines relevant to
computer sciences are cognitive psychology ,
cyber psychology, clinical psychology ,
psychopathology, developmental psychology
,consumer psychology.
 Each branch of psychology can enable the IT
professional to understand , explain , predict
human behaviour.

develop , innovate , sell , create good and
services that will meet the developmental
and socio-cultural needs of people.
