Cognition

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Cognition is the set of mental activities by which information is acquired, organized, and used.

Show

Reading a menu, comparing options, and deciding are three cognitive activities in one minute.

Watch for

Cognition is not confined to deliberate thinking. Most of it runs without being noticed.
