I love this app so much [...] I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a C to an A with it :D
Stefan S, iOS User
The application is very simple and well designed. So far I have found what I was looking for :D
SuSSan, iOS User
Love this App ❤️, I use it basically all the time whenever I'm studying

life application Assumptions The approach uses highly controlled methods in order to enable researchers to infer cognitive processes Scientific and objective methods. Theoretical models are abstract- computer models are concrete things A theoretical model: Information processing approach which suggests that information flows through the cognitive system in a sequence of stages: Input>storage>retrieval Uses theoretical and computer models to understand mental processes Mental processes are unseeable so we have to make inferences: conclusions about the way. mental processes operate on the basis of observed behaviour The study of the mind has established a credible. scientific basis Lab studies produce reliable and objective data Eg, cognitive psychology has made an important contribution in the field of 'artificial intelligence' and the development of robots The emergence of cognitive neuroscience has enabled the 2 fields of biology and cognitive psychology to come together
