Cognitive psychology

På svenska

Cognition is a core area of psychology involving decision-making, problem solving, perception, attention, memory, language, consciousness and more.

Members of the cognitive division work with both theoretical and applied questions, with a focus on how humans process information, quantitative semantics and artificial intelligence.

Work on the Cognition Division website is currently ongoing. For more information, please contact geoffrey [dot] patching [at] psy [dot] lu [dot] se (Geoff Patching)
