Episode 54 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY! And while there is no book (no viable open source ones exist) we plan to go through the core areas of cognition, memory, and more. This season, joining us is Dr. Alyssa Jones to act as our cognitive guide through the world outside of our social bubble.

In this episode we INTRODUCE COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY and talk about some key historical figures moving us closer to cognition research: Wolfgang Kohler, Edward Tolman, and Martin Seligman. We discuss their work on insight, latent learning, and positive psychology. The good some of them did. And some controversies surrounding one post 9/11…I can promise, the end of this episode takes a bit of a turn.
