Several web resources are listed here and provide a range of information (theoretical perspectives, research studies, "real-world" applications, educational programs, bibliographies, and general information) on how cognitive psychologists approach issues of learning, education, and training.

Alliance Trainers and Coordinators can send e-mail to Frank Hassebrock. I welcome comments, suggestions, or questions about the role of cognitive psychology in the development and assessment of learning and training programs in work environments.

The syllabus for my academic course on Cognitive Psychology contains numerous links to information on cognitive processes including perception, attention, memory, problem solving, and decision making.
