Cognitive Approach
Schemas
-
-
-
-
Schemas help us to process lots of information quickly however they can distort our interpretations of sensory information
Assumptions
-
Focus on elements that are ignored by behaviourists E.g. memory, perception and thinking
Cannot observe these processess so inferences have to be used to draw conclusions about what is happening based on behaviour
Evaluation

Also, cognitive processes are carried out in artificial settings using very artificial or unrepresentative ways of measuring such processes.
