cognitive autonomy

Cognitive autonomy refers to the ability to think for oneself and make independent judgments about information and knowledge. In the context of general knowledge, it means being able to evaluate facts, draw conclusions, and make decisions based on one’s own reasoning rather than blindly accepting others’ opinions. This involves critical thinking, questioning assumptions, and seeking evidence. Cognitive autonomy empowers individuals to navigate through information, understand various perspectives, and form their own beliefs, leading to more informed and responsible decision-making in everyday life.
