Cognitive psychology attempts to understand the nature of the human mind by using the information-processing approach. In this article, the fundamentals of the cognitive approach will be presented. It will be argued that the human mind can be described at three levels-computational, algorithmic-representational, and implementational-and that the cognitive approach has both important theoretical and practical/clinical implications. Finally, it will be suggested that the study of cognitive psychology can provide a foundation for other fields of social science, including the field of clinical psychology.
认知心理学试图通过信息加工方法来理解人类思维的本质。在本文中，将介绍认知方法的基本原理。有人认为，人类思维可以在三个层面进行描述——计算层面、算法表征层面和实现层面——并且认知方法具有重要的理论和实践/临床意义。最后，有人提出认知心理学的研究可以为包括临床心理学领域在内的其他社会科学领域提供基础。
