INTRODUCTION

Cognition, from Latin; Cognoscere, "to know", refers to the faculty of processing information from the perception, the knowledge acquired and subjective characteristics that allow to value the information.

Thus cognitive processes constitute a series of mental tools fundamental to the explanation of human behavior, therefore it becomes important a detailed study of some bibliographical contributions and theoretical approaches to the understanding of this subject.

Taking into account the above mentioned below we present a series of relevant documents.

COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY

Definition of Concepts

Cognitive psychology is the study of those mental processes that enable our daily development in the recognition of familiar objects, people known, handling the world around us, including reading, writing, programming, planning, thinking, making Decisions and memorization of what has been learned.

History of Cognitive Psychology

This psychological current emerged in the 1950's as a reaction to behaviorism. Their main disagreement was the so-called black box question.

Cognitive psychology emerged as an alternative to the behaviorist conception of the mind as an inaccessible black box. According to the researchers it is difficult to attribute its appearance to a single author, but it does seem clear that its beginning coincides with the appearance and development of computers.

That is, the behavioral proposition of the mind can not be studied because of the impossibility of an approach through the scientific method. In contrast, cognitive psychology makes use of its mental processes to explain behavior unlike the associations between stimulus and response.

Cognitive psychologists emphasize the influence that information processing has on behavior, stating that the individual compares the new information, schema, or existing knowledge.

In the past Aristotle, Hume, Locke, Descartes, made great mental efforts to unravel the nature of human knowledge. It is then that cognitive psychology returns the old problem with a new language and renewed experimental procedures.

In its beginnings I basically involved development in the field of artificial intelligence, but later extended to the processing of information in human cognitive systems.

As far as cognitive science is concerned, it represents a set of theoretical principles and research programs concerning the functioning of the mind in general and the acquisition of knowledge in particular. In general, we can understand cognitive psychology understood in 3 different ways; As a model that differentiates between behaviorism and psychoanalysis, as a study of psychic functions such as memory and attention and finally as a new theoretical perspective that incorporates the model of information processing.
