You are probably a teenager in a school somewhere in the UK. Like you, I became interested in psychology when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, where I grew up, there was no internet and no A-levels, and I had to get all my information about psychology from a small mix of books from the local library. After finishing secondary education in the late 1980s, I studied psychology at university. And I loved it.
I began my psychology course with a general interest in human behaviour and thinking, but I had no idea about cognitive psychology. It was only during my studies that I started to understand the variety of psychological research topics, and after a while I became interested in cognitive psychology. I would like to explain why cognitive psychology is such an exciting topic, why it is important, and to introduce an online resource that you can use to learn more about experiments and phenomena studied by cognitive psychologists (page 4).
