Cognition refers to the functions and processes of the brain involved in thinking, language, perception, imagination, planning, problem-solving, comprehension, and memory. Cognitive psychology studies how these processes work in our brains and inform our well-being in life. Cognition is an extremely complex process that takes place every second of every day, allowing us to easily navigate a myriad of ideas, duties, activities, and relationships. Ultimately, cognition can affect our health, attitudes, connections, and how we draw meaning from life.
