The school of thought arising from this approach is known as cognitivism which is interested in how people mentally represent information processing. It had its foundations in the work of Wilhelm Wundt, Gestalt psychology of Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Köhler, and Kurt Koffka, and in the work of Jean Piaget, who provided a theory of stages/phases that describe children's cognitive development. Cognitive psychologists use psychophysical and experimental approaches to understand, diagnose, and solve problems, concerning themselves with the mental processes which mediate between stimulus and response. Cognitive theory contends that solutions to problems take the form of algorithms—rules that are not necessarily understood but promise a solution, or heuristics—rules that are understood but that do not always guarantee solutions. In other instances, solutions may be found through insight, a sudden awareness of relationships. From Wikipedia under the

Hmm, I actually was in a Ph.D program for cognitive psychology for 2 years, and recently left because my only realistic job option was 'university professor'. That said, I do think that someone with a master's would probably be able to get a job doing data analysis/ statistical work. Some opportunities I've seen included data analysis in education for the state gov't., and doing research with the psychology dept. of a university. I mean, really, it is a job as an advanced research assistant, but I think it would be fine work if that is what you liked.

Biological psychology is looking at the biological substrates of behavior. It looks at how brain structure, chemistry, activity etc. relates to behavior. Cognitive psychology isn't so interested in the biology going on, but in the way the brain processes information. Cognitive psychologists often compare the brain to a black box. They put information in to be processed and then see what the brain does with it. By looking at the info going in and the result coming out they make deductions about the process that this info is put through in the brain.

A cognitive psychologist would be giving the… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Sun May 30 17:28:03 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Cognitive psychology"  video.google.com Sat, 09 Dec 2006 13:53:45 PST Mike Oren's presentation on active learning for Iowa State's Cognitive Psychology of Human Computer Interaction during Fall 2006. ...
