Cognitive Psychology &
Cognitive Neuroscience

Overview

Cognitive Psychology: The study of reasoning, thinking, language use, judgment and decision-making in adults and children. Research in this area includes studies of attention, memory, and visual and auditory information processing.

Cognitive Neuroscience: The study of cognitive processes and their implementation in the brain. Cognitive neuroscientists use methods drawn from brain damage, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, functional neuroimaging, and computer modeling.
