Focus of Educational Psychology

Educational psychology focuses on the improving the mind and making long-term memory more efficient. Psychology can thus be thought of as a Venn diagram, with these units both distinct and overlapping. Educational psychology contributes to  “academic psychology studies people, and clinical psychology helps people if they are injured or otherwise hurt, but only educational psychology delivers broad-based tools to improve what typical people know, what they do, and how they do it.”( http://www.tdaxp.com/archive/2008/02/20/why-educational-psychology.html)
