RP - Cognitive Psychology

It was crucial for me to research on the cognitive psychological development of primary school children. I started off doing some basic research online to get an over view of what cognitive psychology is.... 

"Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that studies mental processes including how people think, perceive, remember and learn."

By learning how primary school children actually think, learn and remember would allow me to understand deeper as to watch engages them the most. 

There are many theorist that argue their own processes behind cognitive psychology however whilst researching the two names I came across the most are, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. 

Here are a couple of interesting related links:
