Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

Especially, as we believe that psychology is what people on programmes like NCIS, CSI and Bones do.

But I hate to disappoint you and break your image of psychology because as I found out- that version of psychology isn’t strictly true. Mainly because the majority of forensic psychologists work in prisons rehabilitating inmates. At least that’s what my research into the job market has shown.

Anyway, all that psychology is, is the scientific study of behaviour and yes for anyone of one you who’s thinking ‘psychology a science you must be joking’ I will be showing you throughout this series there are a number of scientific methods for researching the complex and sometimes unpredictable phenomenon known as human behaviour.

What is cognitive psychology?

Cognitive psychology is a sub-field of psychology that focuses on mental processes, language and perception.

In this introductory book, we will focus on memory mainly as well as dipping into thinking processes and how technology affects cognition as well.

Critically thinking:

Now in chapters, you will see a section under each case study that we’ll look at called critically thinking. In this small section, we’ll look at a positive and a negative of the study. I will fully admit that
