2 Introduction
Cognitive psychology is, in a broad sense, the study of thinking. It explores how people allocate their mental resources; how they perceive the world around them; how they remember past experiences, how they describe the world with language; and how they reason through problems. Research in cognitive psychology is an exciting field, and the studies can reveal amazing insights into the workings of the human mind.
This course examines the areas of attention, perception, memory, language and problem solving, which are the major areas of research in cognitive psychology.
