Cognitive

• • Computer models explain thinking like a machine (schema is the cognitive framework that interprets info like roles or situations)
  • Cognitive neuroscience shows how the brain supports our cognitive activities by showing which brain part activates in different circumstances
• • Has many applications (eg, in social psychology helps us understand how we form impressions of others) help understand dysfunctional behaviour can be linked to faulty thinking 
• • Approach is very scientific, shows how the mind works with more than just introspection, and proven
• • Comp models limited for explanations, do not have flaws like humans or process the same type of info as we do
• • Ignores emotions and motivation, only tells us how we do things not why
• Studies may lack ecological value as all experiences had little in common with Ps irl experiences
