Collection: Brain & Cognitive

Cognitive brain functions constitute the ability to work with information in a meaningful way, apply information that has already been gained, perform preferential changes, and the ability for someone to change opinions about that information. Within psychology, the idea of cognitive brain function has long been associated with very abstract ideas such as learning, intelligence, and mind. Of course, these ideas are extremely broad, but so are the cognitive brain functions. They are formulated out of memories, and how they relate to current information intake. A person’s ability to actively comprehend, think about that comprehension, and then apply their own opinion to that information is an important part of cognitive function. Planning and learning insofar as using their “information bank” is of extreme importance.
