Highlighted Databases: Cognitive Psychology
The Gottesman Libraries
Every month we draw attention to select databases that strengthen learning, teaching, and research in academic areas and their relevance to current offerings and programs.
Mental processes, or the science of how we think, draw upon memory, attention, perception, knowledge, judgement, language, and problem solving, among other mechanisms. In March we highlight databases that are relevant to the field of Cognitive Psychology, including the Program in Cognitive Science in Education which "trains students in the basic theories of human cognition, the practice and interpretation of empirical cognitive and developmental research, and how to use research to improve educational practices and develop innovative methods built around new technologies."
