In cognitive science, the branch called cognitive psychology deals with human mental processes involved in thinking, feeling and behaving. It includes a variety of thinking processes, among them: perception, attention, memory, knowledge acquisition, categorization, language, problem-solving, reasoning, and judgment.[1] Increasingly cognitive psychology is combined with neuroscience.[2] The journal Cognitive Psychology played an important historical role in this field, and continues to publish technical work on this topic.[3]
