  1. The Cognitive Approach AKA The Information Processing Approach

  2. Cognitive Psychology • Cognitive means to do with thought and thinking • Main areas of psychology include: • Cognitive development, or how thinking develops in children • Cognitive therapy, or how a therapist will try to persuade a patient that their thinking is irrational

  3. Information processing • The mind as an information processor, which processes information from the world and helps us make sense of what is happening. For example, how we remember things, how we recognise things and people and how we solve problems. • In some ways the mind can be compared with a computer, hence artificial intelligence and thinking machines
