In the cognitive perspective, what is the primary focus of study?

Emotions
Memories
Behavior
Thoughts

The correct answer is: Thoughts

The cognitive perspective focuses on the mental processes and functions involved in thinking, learning, and memory. This includes analyzing how thoughts, perceptions, and memories influence behavior and decision-making. Emotions and behavior are also studied, but they are secondary to understanding how thoughts and mental processes drive behavior. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not encompass the main focus of study in the cognitive perspective.
