Cognitive Psychology is essentially the psychology of thinking or mental processes. As the Greek philosophers asked, -how do we know what we know, and why do we behave as we do?" Cognitive psychologists are answering some aspects of these questions, and cognitive neurosciences in particular, are observing the process. George Miller led the Cognitive Revolution.
