Hello there, young minds! We are going to embark on an awesome journey exploring the development of the cognitive approach in psychology. Picture it like a spiral staircase where each step uncovers a new twist that's just a bit better than the last, but doesn't replace the step you just climbed. Pretty cool, right? Let's dive in!

Kickstarter Words: Conscious, Rational, Introspection

Imagine trying to understand what's going on inside your computer just by typing commands and observing the results.
