'''Cognition''' is a [[concepts|concept]] used generally to signify the process of thought. In [[psychology]] and [[cognitive science]] it refers to [[information]] processing by an individual's mindal functions. Other interpretations of the meaning of ''cognition'' link it to the development of ''concepts''; [[individual]] [[mind]]s, groups, organizations, and even larger coalitions of entities, can be modelled  as ''[[society|societies]]'' which cooperate to form [[concepts]].

"It should be re'''cognized''' that the [[fact]] of life comes first, its evaluation or interpretation later. The human first lives and subsequently thinks about his living.

The term '''cognition''' ([[Latin]]: ''cognoscere'', "to know" or "to recognize") refers to a faculty for the processing of [[information]], applying [[knowledge]], and changing preferences. Cognition, or cognitive processes, can be natural or artificial, conscious or unconscious. These processes are [[analysis|analyzed]] from different perspectives within different contexts, notably in the fields of anesthesia, neurology, [[psychology]], [[philosophy]], and [[computer science]]. Within psychology or philosophy, the concept of cognition is closely related to abstract [[concept]]s such as [[mind]], [[reason|reasoning]], [[perception]], [[intelligence]], learning, and many others that describe capabilities of the mind and expected properties of an artificial or synthetic “mind”. Cognition is considered an abstract property of advanced living [[organism]]s and is studied as a direct property of a brain (or of an abstract mind) on at the factual and symbolic levels.

In [[psychology]] and in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence artificial intelligence], cognition is used to refer to the mental functions, mental processes (thoughts) and states of [[intelligence|intelligent]] entities (humans, human organizations, highly autonomous machines). In particular, the field focuses toward the study of specific mental processes such as comprehension, [[inference]], [[free will|decision-making]], planning and learning. Recently, advanced cognitive research has been especially focused on the capacities of abstraction, generalization, specialization and meta-reasoning. This involves such concepts as [[belief]]s, [[knowledge]], desires, preferences and [[intention]]s of intelligent individuals. [http://penta.ufrgs.br/edu/telelab/3/piaget's.htm]

The term “cognition” is also used in a broader sense to define the act of knowing, or [[knowledge]], and may be interpreted in a social or cultural sense to describe the emergent development of knowledge and concepts within a group, culminating in both [[thought]] and action.
