Today, I dug into “cognition in psychology” because it is sort of my thing right now. I’m always curious about how our brains work, you know?
Started with the Basics
First, I tried to get a simple explanation of what cognition even means. It’s all about thinking and those mental things we do, I found some “cognition involves thinking and other mental processes” from the search. I guess it is like recognizing stuff, remembering names, and just general thinking. It’s like, everything our brain does when we’re awake, right?
Looked into Research Methods
Then, I got curious about how people actually study this stuff. I read a bit about “distinctive research methods” in cognitive psychology. I guess there are specific ways researchers try to figure out what’s going on in our heads. It’s more than just asking people what they’re thinking, it looks like.
Checked Out Different Areas
I also tried to see what falls under cognitive psychology. It is a pretty big field. The search results mentioned things like “perception,” “paying attention,” “remembering,” and even “understanding and production of language.” So, it’s not just thinking, but also how we see things, focus on stuff, remember information, and use language. That is a lot!
Got a Bit Technical
I did find some stuff about a “modern neurocognitive framework” and something called “Cognition Exploring The Science Of The Mind 8th Edition.” I didn’t read those, it looks a bit difficult, though. I am not sure if I am ready to dive into textbooks right now. Maybe later.
Wrapped Up
So, that’s pretty much how I spent my day exploring cognition in psychology. I started with simple definitions, got a little into how it’s studied, looked at the different things it covers, and then decided not to get too technical. It’s a huge topic, but I feel like I’ve got a better basic idea now. Still, I didn’t get how “emory and cognition” could be related. Hope I can find it out soon. Maybe I’ll look into that more tomorrow.
