The 38 pages that link to Cognitive psychology, each with the reason it gives.

• BehaviorismCompared with: The cognitive approach treats internal information processing as a legitimate subject of psychology.

• Sigmund FreudCompared with: Its experimental methods offer alternatives to Freud’s interpretive approach to mental life.

• Human–computer interactionRelated: Its models helped explain how people interpret information and operate interactive systems.

• StructuralismCompared with: Its experimental study of mental processes revived questions structuralism had approached through introspection.

• Experimental psychologyRelated: It uses experiments to infer mental operations that cannot be observed directly.

• Daniel KahnemanNarrower topic: Kahneman’s research applied cognitive psychology to judgments and choices.

• B. F. SkinnerCompared with: Its growing influence contested Skinner’s resistance to explanations centered on internal mental representations.

• Cognitive biasNarrower topic: Bias research grew from experiments on how these processes operate.

• Amos TverskyNarrower topic: Tversky’s experiments made judgment and decision-making central topics in the field.

• NeuropsychologyCompared with: Cognitive psychology studies mental processes broadly, whereas neuropsychology relates them to brain structure and function.

• CognitionBroader topic: It investigates many of the processes that make up cognition.

• Cognitive developmentNarrower topic: It supplies concepts and methods for studying the abilities that develop.

• AssociationismRelated: Cognitive psychology retains explanatory questions that associationism addressed with simpler mental links.

• Analytical psychologyCompared with: Its testable models of cognition differ from Jung’s archetypal account of the unconscious.

• Cognitive neuroscienceNarrower topic: It supplies the task models and mental functions that neural research seeks to explain.

• Jerome BrunerNarrower topic: Bruner helped shift psychology toward explaining thought through internal mental processes.

• Learning theoryCompared with: It treats internal processes as necessary explanatory targets, unlike strict behaviorist accounts.

• Cognitive science of religionNarrower topic: It provides experimental methods for examining the mental processes involved in religious thought.

• Max WertheimerNarrower topic: Wertheimer’s research on perception and thinking anticipated questions central to cognitive psychology.

• Conjunction fallacyRelated: Research on the fallacy examines how people assess likelihoods.

• Howard GardnerRelated: His account connects intelligence to different forms of information processing.

• Steven PinkerNarrower topic: It is the broad research field in which Pinker studies the mind.

• Behavioral neuroscienceCompared with: It can explain cognition without making neural mechanisms its primary level of analysis.

• Jigsaw puzzleRelated: Puzzle performance offers a setting for examining visual search and problem-solving.

• Mind (mental faculty)Related: It investigates mental capacities through experiments on human performance.

• Ulric NeisserNarrower topic: Neisser’s 1967 book helped establish this broader field.

• Applied psychologyRelated: Its findings help explain performance, decision-making, and difficulties in applied settings.

• Generation effectNarrower topic: The generation effect arose within experimental research on human memory and learning.

• Hermann EbbinghausNarrower topic: His experiments anticipated the measurable study of internal processes central to this field.

• Psychoanalytic theoryCompared with: It investigates mental processes with methods and models distinct from classical psychoanalysis.

• History of psychologyCompared with: Its rise restored internal mental processes to experimental study after behaviorism’s influence.

• Brain teaserNarrower topic: Researchers use puzzle solving to investigate how people think and make errors.

• Frederic BartlettNarrower topic: Bartlett’s emphasis on active mental organization anticipated the field’s later concerns.

• George Armitage MillerNarrower topic: Miller became one of the field’s defining researchers and advocates.

• PsychologistBroader topic: It exemplifies psychologists’ research into how minds process information.

• Donald O. HebbRelated: His theories gave cognitive processes a proposed neural organization.

• Missing-letter effectNarrower topic: The effect became a case study in how expectations and task demands shape perception.

• PsychodynamicsCompared with: It often models information processing more directly than psychodynamic accounts of conflict.
