Cognition refers to the mental processes involved in acquiring, processing, storing, and retrieving information. This research area focuses on understanding how individuals perceive, think, reason, problem-solve, and make decisions. Cognitive psychologists study various aspects of cognition, such as memory, attention, language, and perception, to gain insights into how the mind works and how individuals interact with their environment. Research in this area often utilizes experimental methods and theories from fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and computer science to examine cognitive processes and behaviors. Ultimately, the goal of cognition research is to enhance our understanding of the human mind and improve cognitive functioning in various contexts.
