The future of psychology

The emergence of cognitive neuroscience The scientific study of biological structures that underpin cognitive processes. Cognitive neuroscientists study many different aspects of human cognition, including the neural processes underlying memory, attention, perception and awareness. They are also interested in social cognition, the brain regions involved when we interact with others What is also of interest is how impairments in these regions may characterise different psychological conditions

How are these biological structures investigated? It is only in the last 20 years, with advances in brain imaging techniques that scientists have been able to systematically observe and describe the neurological basis of mental processes. This has been possible due to the development of brain imaging techniques such as fMRI and PET scans (more on this in biopsychology) As a result of the use of sophisticated scanning techniques (to observe functioning in specific areas) alongside the experimental methods (to infer the processes taking place), cognitive neuroscience is rapidly becoming the dominant paradigm in modern psychology.

How are these biological structures investigated? Example of neuroscience use for studying cognitive processes: It has been possible to work out which parts of the brain are involved in the processing of words
