behavioural Psychology

About The Book

behavioural Psychology studies perception, memory, and thought. Cognitive psychology studies the thinking mind and all psychological processes. Cognitive psychology studies how the brain processes information. Cognitive psychologists model perception, attention, language, memory, thinking, and consciousness. Cognitive psychologists study memory, perception, learning, and language to understand, diagnose, solve problems, and make judgments. Cognitive psychology promotes scientific research methods above clinically based observation to draw results and make a case. Clinical observation can help generate research hypotheses in cognitive psychology, a wide and diverse subject. Behaviorists only study observable (stimulus and response) external behaviour. They say internal behaviour can't be researched because we can't see into someone's thoughts (and therefore cannot objectively measure it). The cognitive method believes mental behaviour can be tested experimentally. Cognitive psychology thinks stimulus/input mediates response/output. For psychology students. This book aims to explain cognition and prepare you for future advances. A comprehensive picture of cognitive psychology's many components has been attempted.
