What is the point?
The cognition pillar in psychology focuses on understanding mental processes such as perception, memory, problem-solving, and decision-making. Studying cognition helps us explore how individuals acquire, process, store, and recall information, providing insight into how we interpret the world around us and make choices. This perspective is crucial for understanding various cognitive disorders, learning strategies, and the development of intelligence. By examining how the mind works, the cognition pillar aids in improving educational techniques, therapeutic approaches, and enhancing overall mental functioning.
