A psychologist studies behavior and mental processes using psychological research methods, or applies that knowledge in an appropriate professional setting. Research can concern learning, human memory, emotion or interactions between people. A cognitive psychologist might design a controlled task to distinguish explanations of remembering; a clinical psychologist might combine psychological assessment and clinical formulation to guide an intervention. These are different activities within a shared discipline, so the title alone does not identify one research method or clinical specialization. [ref]
