The Cognitive Revolution refers to a significant shift in psychology during the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on understanding the mind and mental processes. This movement emerged as a response to behaviorism, which emphasized observable behaviors over internal mental states. Researchers began to explore how people think, learn, and remember, leading to the development of cognitive psychology. Key figures in the Cognitive Revolution include Noam Chomsky, who challenged behaviorist views of language acquisition, and Ulric Neisser, who is often called the "father of cognitive psychology." This revolution laid the groundwork for advancements in fields like artificial intelligence, linguistics, and neuroscience, reshaping our understanding of human cognition.
