The knowledge on consciousness, thinking and cognition is the base of the researches about human intelligence. The basic elements of cognition and their relations between each other are discussed, and breakthrough on cognition has been made. It is concluded that thinking is one-dimensional kinetic process that is based on memory function and is composed of two or more static consciousnesses with certain relationships between them in one’s conscious focus. The concepts about consciousness in several scientific subjects and their relationships are summarized, and conscious forms are classified newly. According to the thought about the contemporary system of science and technology, an opinion about human cognitive levels has been proposed.
