What is cognition?
• Cognition – To know (Origin of the word “cognition”, from

Latin, “to know, or learn about”.)
• “the states and processes involved in knowing, which in
their completeness include perception and judgment.

Cognition includes all conscious and unconscious
processes by which knowledge is accumulated, such as

, perceiving, recognizing, conceiving, and reasoning. Put

differently, cognition is a state or experience of knowing
that can be distinguished from an experience of feeling or
willing.” - Encyclopedia Britannica

• “...the term "cognition" refers to all processes by which the

sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored,
recovered, and used. It is concerned with these processes
even when they operate in the absence of relevant

stimulation, as in images and hallucinations... Given such a

sweeping definition, it is apparent that cognition is
involved in everything a human being might possibly do;

that every psychological phenomenon is a cognitive
phenomenon.” – Neisser (coined the term “Cognitive

Psychology”)


Cognitive psychology
• You should have a basic understanding of what cognitive
psychology is.

• CP emerged as a response to behaviourism.
• Seen as a means to address internal mental processes.
• “Cognitive psychology is the study of how the brain

processes information.” – Groome & Eysenck (2016, p. 1).

, • Main processes involved in cognition: perception,

learning, memory storage, retrieval, language, and
thinking reasoning.
• Types of information that are subject to cognitive

processing: visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, or olfactory

information
• Types of information are sensed (acquired), they are then
integrated into existing networks and systems of thought

in the brain where they are then subjected to cognitive

processing.


Early cognitive research
• First attempts to investigate cognitive processes in a

scientific way was in the early 19th century:

• Wilhelm Wundt (1874) – Father of experimental
psychology; attention and perception; reaction time tasks.

• Francis Galton (1879) – Mental imagery and associative

thinking.
• Hermann Ebbinghaus (1885) – Learning and memory
encoding.

• Edward Thorndike (1914) – Behavioural conditioning – law

of effect.

, • Attempted to unpack basic cognitive processes and create

theories around their findings.
• What followed was a proliferation of new types of
experiment and research design focused on the scientific

exploration of the human mind.


What is APPLIED cognitive psychology
• ACP: Processes in context, and out of the lab
• The application of CP in the real world:

• “It is concerned with the investigation of how
cognitive processes affect our behaviour and

performance in real-life settings”.

• Examples:

• Sustained attention of a radar operator
• Student study habits for better memory retention
• Reliability of eyewitness accounts


Early *applied* cognitive research
• Early cognitive research in real-world settings:
• Francis Galton (1879) – First scientific study of

autobiographical memory: tested people’s memory for
