Cognition

"The mental action or process of obtaining information and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses" is what cognition is defined as. Knowledge, attention, memory, and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and "computation," problem solving and decision making, and language understanding and production are among the activities covered. Human cognition can be conscious or unconscious, tangible or abstract, intuitive (like language understanding) or conceptual (like a model of a language). Cognitive processes make use of previous knowledge while also generating new information.
