No lol, and that actually confused me too when I first started out. So, cognitive psychology is psychology, but cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field that includes neuroscience, anthropology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, etc.

No cognitive psychology is one domain of study within the field of study. There's developmental psychology, biological, social, personality, philosophy of psychology, history of psychology, psychodynamics, evolutionary psychology, experimental, etc.
And of course the obligatory stats

I have a Bachelor Honours in psychology.

But yes cognitive science is different from cog psych, and you're doing psych right?

Right that's what I mean by cognitive psychology is psychology. In the sense that its a psychological field of research.

And I have a Bachelors of Science in psychology, which I'm guessing is the same as a Bachelor of Honours where you're from. I'm doing Cognitive Sci. in graduate school.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Oh ok so you are doing cog science, my bad.

No, Bachelor and Bachelor Honours were two separate degrees in my case. I have both, and then once I got the Honours decided not to pursue psych further.

So would a Bachelor Honours be similar to our Masters Degree? Which is after a Bachelors but before a Doctorates?

Good luck getting that out of him.

Nope, Bachelor Honours is for those who completed the normal Bachelor with high distinction. It's not undergraduate but also not quite postgraduate. Masters comes after Honours, at least where I did my psych.

Graduate school....with -these- questions? What sort of fucking diploma mill did you get scammed by?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
