Our thinking, according to cognitive psychology, is responsible for our actions. Human behaviour (the response) is always described in terms of the situation that inspires this response (stimulus) in the earlier psychological theory, behaviourism. We are happy since our birthday is approaching. Cognitive psychology, on the other hand, defends the premise that the stimulus alone is insufficient to explain human behaviour. To put it another way, we need to study people's minds in order to comprehend them. The study of how humans perceive, learn, remember, and think about information is known as cognitive psychology [1].
The science of how individuals think is the subject of cognitive psychology. This discipline of psychology studies a wide range of mental processes, such as how people think, communicate, process information, and perceive their surroundings. The study of internal mental processes, such as perception, thinking, memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and learning, falls under the umbrella of cognitive psychology. Researchers can obtain a better grasp of how the human brain works by learning more about how people think and process information. It also allows psychologists to experiment with novel approaches to assisting patients with psychological issues [2].
For example, psychologists can come up with methods that make it simpler for persons with attentional challenges to increase their focus and concentration by recognising that attention is both a selective and finite resource. Based on the natural organisation of the human nervous system, neuroinformatics attempts to construct neural structures using artificial neurons. Furthermore, neuroinformatics is used as a source of evidence for psychological models, such as memory models. The artificial neuron network "learns" words and mimics the behaviour of "real" brain neurons. It would support the model if the findings of the artificial neuron network were very close to the results of genuine memory studies. Psychological models can be "tested" in this way. It would also aid in the development of artificial neuron networks that possess human-like abilities such as face recognition.
It would be much easier to develop artificial structures that had the same or equivalent skills if we knew more about how humans absorb information. The field of cognitive development research attempted to explain how children's cognitive abilities grow from infancy to puberty. At early, sensory inputs constituted a big part of knowledge representation theories. According to current scientific findings, our internal perception of reality is not a one-to-one replica of the actual world. It is instead saved as an abstract or neurochemical code [3].
The study of how the brain enables the mind is known as cognitive neuroscience. The study of how individual neurons function and communicate to construct the complex neural structures that make up the human brain is known as brain science. Cognitive science employs cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence technologies to develop and evaluate models of higherlevel cognition like thought and language. This is where cognitive neuroscience comes in. It connects higher-level cognitive activities to well-known brain structures and neuronal processing mechanisms.
The discipline of cognitive psychology encompasses a wide range of topics. It deals on a wide range of topics. This research has a variety of practical applications, including assisting people with memory difficulties, making better judgments, recovering from a brain injury, treating learning disorders, and organising educational curriculum to improve learning. Current cognitive psychology research is influencing how mental health practitioners manage mental illness, traumatic brain damage, and degenerative brain disorders [4].
Physical proof supporting a theoretical approach to cognition research is provided by neurobiological data. As a result, the research area is narrowed and made considerably more precise. Scientists' research is aided by the link between brain disease and behaviour. Different sorts of brain damage, traumas, lesions, and tumours have long been known to alter behaviour and induce abnormalities in specific mental functions. With the advancement of modern technology, we can now observe and examine brain structures and processes that were previously unseen. This gives us a lot of knowledge and material to use in creating simulation models that assist us comprehend mental processes [5].
