Advanced Cognitive Psychology Lecture 1
Cognitive Psychology • “Cognitive Psychology refers to all processes by which sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used.”
Cognitive Psychology • “The experimental study of human information processing in its many manifestations.” • Experimental study: Based on the experimental method, empirical, scientific. • Human information processing: People sometimes operate as information processors. • Many manifestations: Information comes from the environment, is stored briefly, some is selected for additional processing, something is done to it, it may result in some additional behavior.
