cognitive psychologist

Studies mental processes

A cognitive psychologist studies mental processes—how people perceive, think, remember, learn, and solve problems.

The field examines attention, language, decision-making, and memory formation through experiments and observation rather than introspection.

The cognitive psychologist designed a study to test how multitasking affects recall.
