Simply put, educational psychology is the scientific study of education and teaching. Individual differences in intellect, cognitive development, affect, motivation, self-regulation, and self-concept, and their function in learning, can be better understood by studying learning processes from both a mental and behavioral perspective. Testing and measuring are crucial to educational psychology because they help improve instructional design, classroom management, and assessment, all of which support learning in various contexts and at all stages of life. Educational psychology informs many subfields, such as pedagogy, technology, curriculum, special instruction, classroom management, and student motivation. As a field, educational psychology benefits from and makes essential contributions to the fields of cognitive science and the learning sciences. The study of human learning processes, including memory, conceptualization, and diversity (via cognitive psychology), is the purview of educational psychology.
