Cognitive research is a broad field of study that focuses on understanding mental processes such as perception, memory, reasoning, and decision-making. Researchers in this area aim to explore how humans acquire, process, store, and retrieve information, as well as how these cognitive processes impact behavior. Cognitive research often involves using various methods such as experiments, surveys, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to investigate the underlying mechanisms of cognition. This field is interdisciplinary and draws from psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy to develop theories and applications related to human cognition.
