Cognitive Functioning
Cognitive functioning refers to the mental processes that allow us to think, learn, remember, and problem-solve. It encompasses aspects like attention, memory, reasoning, and language skills. When we talk about cognitive functioning in the context of general knowledge, we mean how effectively a person can gather, understand, and use information about the world around them. Good cognitive functioning enables us to make decisions, understand concepts, and adapt to new situations. It plays a vital role in our daily activities, impacting our ability to communicate, learn new things, and engage with our environment.
