Cognitive processing is a broad research area within psychology that focuses on how individuals perceive, interpret, store, and retrieve information. This field explores how the human mind processes and utilizes knowledge, memories, and thoughts to make decisions, solve problems, and interact with the world. Cognitive processing research often examines various cognitive processes such as attention, perception, memory, language, reasoning, and decision-making, and seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms and structures that govern these processes. By studying cognitive processing, researchers aim to gain insight into how individuals think, learn, and behave in different situations, as well as how cognitive processes may be impacted by factors such as age, emotions, and neurological disorders.
