Memory (Chapter 7)
Although people have theorizing about memory for millennia, its careful experimental study began only in the late nineteenth century. Since then, its study has matured into one of the richest and most fully developed topics in psychological research. In this chapter, we present a historical survey of behavioral methods for studying human memory.

Cognitive Psychology: The Science of How We Think
Cognitive psychology grew into prominence between the 1950s and 1970s. Prior to this time, behaviorism was the dominant perspective in psychology. This theory holds that we learn all our behaviors from interacting with our environment. It focuses strictly on observable behavior, not thought and emotion. Then, researchers became more interested ...
Psychology
Cognitivist research is informed by functionalism and experimental psychology. Starting in the 1950s, the experimental techniques developed by Wundt, James, Ebbinghaus, and others re-emerged as experimental psychology became increasingly cognitivist and, eventually, constituted a part of the wider, interdisciplinary cognitive science.
Experimental Psychology Approaches to Human Memory

These efforts have included various aspects of memory processes, differential aspects of memory of diverse participants, and investigations of memory ...
How the Experimental Method Works in Psychology
The experimental method involves manipulating one variable to determine if this causes changes in another variable. This method relies on controlled research methods and random assignment of study subjects to test a hypothesis. For example, researchers may want to learn how different visual patterns may impact our perception.
