Cognitive Approach At A Glance If you need to write about this approach it is a good idea to know a definition, and then be able to elaborate on key features. You may also be called upon to discuss applications and limitations. All this is schematically represented below. Use the glossary, as before, to help you. |
| The cognitive approach involves the study of our mediational processes. These allow us to take in information from our world, and actively process this information to make the most effective response to our world. Mediational processes come between an environmental stimulus, and our response to it. |
