What is cognitive psychology?

Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that focuses on studying mental processes such as thinking, problem-solving, perception, memory, and language. It aims to understand how people acquire, process, and store knowledge, and how they use it to perceive and interact with the world around them. Cognitive psychologists use various research methods such as experiments, observations, and computer simulations to investigate these mental processes and develop theories that explain them. The findings of cognitive psychology have important applications in areas such as education, therapy, and human-computer interaction.
