So you have to understand what's going on in the brain to understand behavior, learning, emotion, memory, perception, problem solving, decision making, creativity, etc. Example, when I feel anxious about public speaking, what's going on in the brain is an established behavior pattern, which is enabled by neurons connecting into a neural pathway...a physical connection. See audience, imagine their critical thoughts, think about my imperfections, feel anxiety. A cognitive psychologist would attempt to build a new neural pathway. See audience, imagine their approving thoughts, think about my strengths and my knowledge of the topic, feel good about my outline and preparation, feel relaxed and confident. If I think these things enough times in that situation, it will become my new behavior pattern. I'll have grown a new neural pathway that works better than the old one.<br><b>References : </b><br> Cognitive psychology addresses the reality that human psychology comes 100% from brain function.
