认知心理学是关于人怎样在心理上呈现和加工信息的科学。知觉、学习、记忆、推理、解决问题和做决定等诸种心理能力都属于它的研究范围。认知心理学既研究智力测验所测得的能力,也研究由较为特殊的能力倾向测验所测得的能力。因此看来,我们有理由相信当代认知心理学的发展将会影响到心理测量学的心理能力测验。 Cognitive psychology is a science about how people psychologically present and process information. Consciousness, learning, memory, reasoning, problem-solving and making decisions and other psychological abilities belong to its scope of research. Cognitive psychology studies both the measured ability of an intelligence test and the ability measured by a more specific aptitude test. So it seems that we have reason to believe that the development of contemporary cognitive psychology will affect the psychometric test of mental ability.
