Meaning and definition of cognition :
Cognition: Refers to activities such as thinking and reasoning. For the cognitive psychologist, behavior requires explanations at the level of mental events, mental representations, beliefs, intentions, etc. Cognitive science is the name given to the disciplines that study the human mind. Cognitive differences among people arise because of the different ways in which they perceive and assimilate data, make decisions, solve problems and relate to other people. Some people, for example, may use a lot of intuition while solving problems, others prefer a more analytical approach. People who use an analytical, logical, sequential approach to solving problems are left brained while those who use an intuitive, value-based and non-linear approach are right-brained. Some people like to collaborate while solving problems, while others like to be on their own. Cognitive unconscious is a general term that describes a variety of mental processes and functions that take place largely independent of consciousness or awareness. Cognitive therapy is based on the assumption that the way in which individuals structure and interpret their experiences determine their subsequent behavior.
