Outline principles that define the cognitive level of analysis (for example, mental processes guide behaviour, the mind can be studied scientifically, cognitive processes are influenced by social and cultural factors).
Explain how principles that define the cognitive level of analysis may be demonstrated in research (that is, theories and/or studies).
Discuss how and why particular research methods are used at the cognitive level of analysis.
Discuss ethical considerations related to research studies at the cognitive level of analysis.
