computational psychology
An approach to learning which postulates events in the brain which 'represent' inferences and so on.
It mediates between methodological behaviorism and a purely introspective approach. It broadens out into cognitive science when it studies artificial intelligence and areas bordering on CYBERNETICS and so on.
