"Cognition is the 'mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.' It encompasses all aspects of intellectual functions and processes such as perception, attention, thought, imagination, intelligence, and more."
Explores how mental processes such as memory, perception, attention, and problem-solving play a role in behavior and learning.
Attention: The ability to focus on a particular stimulus while ignoring others.
Perception: The process of interpreting sensory information and making sense of it.
Memory: The ability to store and retrieve information.
Learning: The process of acquiring new information and skills.
Language: The system of communication used to convey ideas and thoughts.
Problem-solving: The process of finding solutions to complex or difficult situations.
Decision-making: The process of making choices based on available information and alternatives.
Motivation: The driving force behind behaviors, whether they are positive or negative.
Emotion: The psychological and physiological response to an external or internal stimulus.
Consciousness: The awareness of one's surroundings and sensations.
Perception without Awareness: The ability to process stimuli without being aware of their presence.
Sensation: The process of receiving, transducing, and encoding sensory information.
Object Recognition: The process of identifying familiar objects or patterns within stimuli.
Attention Networks: The networks of neurons responsible for different types of attention.
Executive Functions: The cognitive processes responsible for planning, organizing, and initiating behavior.
Decision Bias: The tendency to make decisions that are influenced by personal beliefs or emotions.
Mental Imagery: The ability to form images or representations of objects or concepts in the mind.
Working Memory: The process of temporarily holding and manipulating information.
Long-term Memory: The ability to store information for an extended period of time.
Attention Deficit Disorders: The neurological disorders associated with a deficit in attentional processes.
Perception: The process of interpreting sensory information.
Attention: The process of selectively directing focus and awareness.
Memory: The process of storing and retrieving information.
Language: The process of communicating through symbols and linguistic structures.
Thinking: The process of mental problem solving or decision making.
Reasoning: The process of using information to draw conclusions or make inferences.
Imagery: The process of mentally representing objects or events that are not currently present.
Creativity: The process of generating novel ideas or solutions.
Mental representation: The process of constructing and manipulating mental models of the world.
Executive function: The process of managing and regulating cognitive processes and behavior.
Emotion: The process of experiencing and expressing affective states.
Metacognition: The process of monitoring and regulating one's own cognitive processes.
"Cognitive processes include perception, attention, thought, imagination, intelligence, the formation of knowledge, memory and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and computation, problem-solving and decision-making, comprehension and production of language."
"Cognitive processes are analyzed from different perspectives within different contexts, notably in the fields of linguistics, musicology, anesthesia, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, education, philosophy, anthropology, biology, systemics, logic, and computer science."
"Cognitive processes use existing knowledge and discover new knowledge."
"These and other approaches to the analysis of cognition (such as embodied cognition) are synthesized in the developing field of cognitive science."
"Perception is one of the aspects of intellectual functions and processes encompassed by cognition."
"Cognition involves attention as one of its intellectual functions and processes."
"Memory and working memory are important components of cognition."
"Cognition encompasses judgment and evaluation as part of its intellectual functions and processes."
"Reasoning and computation are essential components of cognitive processes."
"Cognition is involved in problem-solving and decision-making."
"Cognition influences comprehension and production of language."
"Cognitive processes are analyzed from different perspectives within different contexts, notably in the fields of linguistics, musicology, anesthesia, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, education, philosophy, anthropology, biology, systemics, logic, and computer science."
"The goal is to synthesize various approaches to the analysis of cognition and create a progressively autonomous academic discipline."
"Cognition involves the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses."
"Cognition encompasses aspects such as perception, attention, thought, imagination, intelligence, the formation of knowledge, memory, and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and computation, problem-solving and decision-making, comprehension and production of language."
"Imagination is one of the aspects of intellectual functions and processes encompassed by cognition."
"Intelligence is an important aspect of intellectual functions and processes within cognition."
"The formation of knowledge is a crucial component of cognition."
"Fields such as linguistics, musicology, anesthesia, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, education, philosophy, anthropology, biology, systemics, logic, and computer science provide different perspectives and insights into the analysis of cognition."
