Cognitive psychology is the empirical study of mental
processes that take place in our brain during specific behaviors and episodes throughout
life.
Cognitive psychology and its study can be traced back
to earlier attempts to organize studies in human behavior and mental processes that date
back to the 18th century with the works of Berkeley and Hume. These are philosophers who
intensified their search to establish clear patterns of behavior and cognition in
humans.
In modern times we have been able to enhance the
study of this field thanks to the works of Jean Piaget, BF Skinner, Wolfgang Kohler and
Noam Chomsky. Therefore, there we cannot disport the entire charge of founding the
science as a whole in one person. It has been a collective effort since centuries back
into the field of psychology.
