Incidentally, for questions like this, simply Google \"Denkpsychologie\" with the English word \"psychology\" and you should be able to find the answer easily enough.

agree  Ulrike Kraemer: That's what I usually do (erst denken, dann googeln - oder googlen??)

agree  Kieran McCann: though perhaps best to retain the SL term and add this as a gloss, since other TL renderings are possible and it does usually refer to a specific period/movement rather than this branch of psychology generally

neutral  Kieran McCann: D. is a type of cognitive psychology, but I think the latter phrase usually calls to mind the post-war US/UK movement rather than the earlier German/Austrian Denkpsychologie? though if you retain the SL term, you can translate it how you like!

  -> It would be nice to know who 'er' is to help place this in context. I thought that 'cognitive philosophy' would fit well with Wahrnehmungspsychologie and Gestaltpsychologie, but I'm not an expert in this area.
