All Cognitive Psychology

Groups the theories that explain mental process: memory, judgment, representation and thought, treating the mind as an information processor. Belongs here: the Atkinson-Shiffrin Memory Model, Dual Process Theory, the Misinformation Effect, Schema (Psychology), Unconscious Thought Theory and Triarchic Theory of Intelligence. A memory or judgment theory whose central point is social or developmental, such as attachment or attribution, is filed under that other branch instead.
