Cognitive model in psychology focus on how people know, understand and think of the world, in other words how people perceive things around them. This model was evolved after the Watson's view of behavioral model.
According to Tolman and William, who were behaviorists, man is a purposive animal and in understanding the behavior only stimulus reaction theory is not helpful but it should be stimulus organism reaction.
Cognitive approach helps to understand an individual and his mental state that includes the thinking, emotional, behavioral patterns.
And also how past experiences leads to the change in an individual later in life.
