Parapsychology is a science that studies the processes of information processing in the mind such as attention, perception, memory, language, problem solving, creativity and reasoning,
But Anomalous Psychology examines the psychological anomalies of the individual or community being studied.
PARAPSYCHOLOGY is a PSEUDOSCIENCE that aims to address the so-called "PARANORMAL PHENOMENA" (extrasensory perception, telekinesis, psychophonies, etc); while ANOMALY PSYCHOLOGY does fall within what we consider Science (following the HYPOTHETICAL-DEDUCTIVE Method, whenever possible, and with artifacts and statistical instruments, etc.) its object is known as "LIMIT PHENOMENA" or "ABNORMAL" -NOT PARANORMAL-, such as parasomnias, suggestion, hypnosis, eidetic memory and a long etcetera. Also its name leads to confusion because some think that it addresses ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR "per se", more typical of PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY.
