Cognition is how we assign meaning to different forms of input (visual, auditory, sensory) and how we process our response to both our inner experiences (thoughts, sensations) and outer environement (including other people).

It's both the factors that affect cognition as well as the cognitive processes.

I understood it to differ from behaviour, instead seeking to explain neuroprocesses that may inform behaviour, while behaviourism focuses more on the outer behaviour with reward and punishment. They would overlap in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which seeks to adjust the two.

The slides showed brain imaging and disections with a focus on mental processes. From my understanding of texts on polyvagal theory, the state of the nervous system also informs cognitive processes (e.g. when you're hungry and tired your decision making might be different to when you are fed and rested)

I would be interested to learn more about how the different pillars of psychology interralte...

Cognition decides whether people can create the potential development from current level, on the other hand it can also limit our thinkings and perspectives.

The mental process of gaining knowledge. It's an internal process that involves our attention, perception and memory

A mixture of systems and processes which are interdependent. For instance, in learning, visual perception; language skills; knowledge from long term memory; problem solving; decision making; dependence on emotional state; retrieval and conscious evaluation are all incorporated into a cognitive system.

Gaining and processing knowledge learned through a variety of means (such as experience, senses etc)

Cognition covers all of the internal processes that go on inside our brains, such as thinking, learning, storing memory, attention etc. - we cannot see these processes on the outside, but they will usually have behavioural implications which we can measure externally.

The process of processing external information based on the brain.
