In the Module One overview and resources, you learned that the field of cognitive psychology examines human thought processes through a variety of research techniques. The field encompasses several areas including neuroscience, memory, attention, and problem solving. Based on what you know about cognitive psychology, compare and contrast two different research methods that are used in cognitive psychology. Next, find an article that uses one of the research methods you have discussed. Summarize the main points of the article and discuss why this particular method was useful
and
What areas of cognitive psychology interest you the most (perception, attention, memory, decision making, or language)? What applied setting is of interest to you or important for your future career (education, law, mental health, or technology)? Also, consider some of the potential cognitive problems in your area that you think further research and study in cognitive processes may be able to help solve.
