Cognitive psychology explores the mental processes associated with acquiring, organizing, using, and reproducing information – cognitive processes. These processes include cognition, attention, memory, learning, imagination, speech, nonverbal communication, thinking, conscious states, emotions, and stimulation in the context of human cognitive and practical activity Cognitive psychology has evolved under the influence of practical concerns such as improving human-machine interaction (engineering psychology and ergonomics) and supporting learning. In the mid-twentieth century, the advent of computers and N. Chomsky’s work in linguistics, as well as research on cognitive disabilities, child development, and behavior, gave rise to a new field of psychological research. Since the late 1980s, cognitive psychology has been part of a broader interdisciplinary movement called “cognitive science,” which has expanded its methodological tools and goals. Besides evaluating the accuracy and speed of problem-solving, several neurophysiological techniques have been used extensively. Later, methods of neurochemical and genetic research were also added Computational modeling of mental processes is still important. Gal Bama has been using artificial neural networks for this purpose in recent years. Researchers focus on the development of cognitive processes, individual differences and cultures, and social interactions Thanks to new techniques for mapping the brain in any dimension in the early 21st century, our understanding of the localization of mental functions in the brain has improved significantly. Individual components of neurophysiological mechanisms that provide complex processes such as goal setting, self-control, and reflexes of consciousness have been identified. This has led to the description of multiple forms of seemingly standardized cognitive processes The use of new technologies, such as virtual reality, has played an important role in modern cognitive psychology. These techniques not only allow the creation of a living illusion of being in a specific spatial environment, but also the implementation of different scenarios for practical activities and skills training. Gal Bama uses psychophysiological methods and eye movement recording to analyze these scenarios. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of most cognitive psychology problems, research sometimes loses its psychological focus, giving way to neuropsychological, neurophysiological, linguistic, computational, and mathematical studies.
