| COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Cognitive psychologists are research oriented and study mental processes
such as perception, object recognition, attention, short and long-term memory,
language, mental imagery and thinking. They believe that mental processes
can be examined scientifically through the conduct of experiments. They study
how people perceive objects and events, how they can store past events in
memory, how they transform and manipulate knowledge by thinking, and how they
analyze their experience to emerge with new and abstract notions. Cognitive
psychologists also study reasoning, judgment, and decision making. These psychologists
are usually found in academic settings, research laboratories, or in technical
and information-processing agencies.
