Zusammenfassung
Unter Kognition (aus dem Lateinischen: cognoscere – erkennen, erfahren, kennenlernen) wird im weitesten Sinne die Informationsverarbeitung zwischen Individuum und umgebenden Systemen verstanden. Häufig wird der Terminus analog zum Begriff Denken verwendet und beschreibt somit höhere Hirnleistungen. Die verschiedenen Domänen umfassen Aufmerksamkeit, Erinnerung, Lernen, Kreativität, Planen, Orientierung, Vorstellung, Argumentation, Introspektion und Willen.
