When the field of cognitive psychology first emerged, it was a departure from behaviorism, which focused on observable behaviors and not mental processes. Cognitive psychology emphasized the study of mental processes such as thinking, memory, and problem-solving, marking a shift towards understanding internal cognitive processes.

Senses are the physiological methods of perception. The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably neuroscience, cognitive psychology (or cognitive science), and philosophy of perception.

The first area of psychology to be studied was philosophy, as early philosophical thinkers explored questions related to the mind, consciousness, and behavior. Wilhelm Wundt is often credited with founding the first psychology laboratory in 1879, marking the formal beginning of psychology as a scientific discipline.

Cognitive Psychology
The study of the brain and learning has contributed to the changes in cognitive psychology. The whole foundation of cognitive psychology is how the brain processes information and how it affects behavior. Our knowledge about the brain in recent years has grown and with more research it will continue to affect theories like cognitive psychology.

This hugely depends on the type of psychology being studied. I have studied: social, cognitive, psychodynamic and biological approaches to psychology. I find that the ideas that form for me personally is that of understanding others and yourself and the reasons behind the actions we do. I also find that I begin to think of possibilities within relation to psychology and the different studies/theories that I have been taught. The beautiful thing about psychology is the possibilities and the fact that it will never end. Psychology can also be very controversial which is great fun when debating in class the different applications a study or theory can have to the "real" world. :)
