Basic Cognitive Processes Cognitive processes refer to the mental activities through which individuals acquire, process, store, and use information. They form the foundation of human thinking and behavior. The major cognitive processes include attention (selective focus on stimuli), perception (interpretation of sensory information), memory (encoding, storage, and retrieval of information), thinking (mental manipulation of ideas), reasoning (logical analysis and problem-solving), language (symbolic communication), and decision-making (choosing among alternatives). Together, these processes enable individuals to understand their environment, learn from experiences, and adapt effectively.
