Recent advancements in cognitive psychology have significantly enriched the interdisciplinary field of cognitive science, owing largely to contributions from neurophysiology and computer science. Neurophysiology has provided critical insights into the biological underpinnings of cognition by examining neural structures and processes that facilitate thinking, learning, and memory. Techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have enabled researchers to visualize brain activity associated with cognitive functions, thereby deepening our understanding of how the brain supports thought processes (Paul, 2018). Meanwhile, computer science has introduced computational models and artificial intelligence (AI) systems that simulate human cognition, helping scientists to analyze complex mental processes through algorithms and machine learning. These models serve as functional abstractions of brain activity, allowing researchers to test hypotheses about cognition and learning strategies in a controlled, modifiable environment (Paul, 2018). Together, these fields have bridged biological insights with technological innovations, fostering a comprehensive understanding of human thought processes that influence educational practices and cognitive development.

Understanding the distinctions between mentoring and coaching is essential in professional development contexts. Mentoring typically involves a long-term, relationship-oriented approach where a more experienced individual provides guidance, advice, and support based on their expertise (Clutterbuck, 2014). Conversely, coaching is generally more focused and goal-oriented, emphasizing skill development and performance improvements through specific, often short-term interactions. The bottom-line difference lies in their purpose: mentoring aims to develop the mentee holistically over time, fostering personal and professional growth, while coaching concentrates on enhancing particular skills or achieving specific objectives within a defined period.
