right
To determine the correct answer, let's examine the options:
A) The study of higher mental processes.
B) The therapeutic application of critical thinking.
C) The area of psychology which attempts to reduce judgmental thinking.
D) A subspecialty of psychology based exclusively on observation rather than experimentation.
Cognitive psychology primarily focuses on the study of higher mental processes, such as thinking, memory, perception, attention, problem-solving, and decision-making. It examines how individuals acquire, process, and store information, and aims to understand the underlying cognitive mechanisms involved.
Option A, "The study of higher mental processes," accurately represents cognitive psychology and is therefore the most appropriate answer.
