What is the difference between cognitive psychology and neuroscience?

The difference between cognitive psychology and neuroscience is quite simple. Cognitive psychology focuses on how the brain learns, retains, and retrieves information while neuroscience is the biological aspect of how the brain and nervous systems work in the human body. It could be said that cognitive psychology is beneath the umbrella of neuroscience, since it borrows on ideas and findings from neuroscience.
