Psychology's Cognitive Science area investigates core cognitive processes such as cognition, action, perception, and language, while applying multiple theoretical perspectives such as information processing, dynamics, and embodied cognition. We also conduct translational research in the spirit of the New American University to apply cognitive psychology to solution of real problems such as improving children's reading comprehension.
