Cognitive Approach Mind Map Overview
The cognitive approach is a branch of psychology that studies mental processes such as perception, attention, memory, language and problem solving. It treats the mind as an information processing system, similar to a computer. A cognitive approach mind map groups these processes into branches so you can see how they relate to each other.
- Memory: encoding, storage and retrieval, including models of short and long-term memory
- Attention: how selective focus filters the information we process
- Language: how we acquire, understand and produce speech and text
- Thinking: reasoning, decision making and problem solving
- Research methods: experiments and lab studies used to test these processes
Use the map to revise each branch and check how the processes link together. You can also build a personalised version from your own notes with CogniGuide.
