CHIP Framework 

The CHIP framework is based on the idea that human cognition involves the hierarchical processing of information, with lower-level processes providing input to higher-level processes that integrate and interpret that information. The framework consists of a set of modules that perform different cognitive functions, including perception, attention, memory, reasoning, and decision-making. 

One of the unique features of the CHIP framework is its emphasis on context. The framework is designed to take into account the specific context in which a task is being performed and to use that context to guide the processing of information. For example, when performing a task in a noisy environment, the perception module may prioritize processing of auditory information over visual information. 

The CHIP framework has been used in a number of applications, including the development of intelligent tutoring systems for learning and decision-making, as well as in robotics for autonomous navigation and control. Its modular design and emphasis on context make it a flexible and powerful tool for simulating human cognition and developing intelligent systems . 

CHIP is used to frame qualitative research questions in psychology. 

Context	What is the social, cultural or geographical context for your population?
How	Which research methods are you using?
Issues	Which of your population’s behaviours or experiences are focusing on?
Population	How are you defining your population?
