Difference between beliefs of cognitive psychology and behaviorists:
Behavioral Psychology also known as behaviorism tells us that all behaviors are acquired through interaction with the environment.
Behaviorists believed that observable behaviors were only aspect ins psychology that are worth considering.
Cognitive psychology is the study of mental functions and its main focus is in procuring, processing and storing of information in mind.
The research in cognition led to change in methodology used in 'psychotherapy' from a strictly behavioral to a more 'balanced approach' that combined both behavioral and cognitive therapy.
