    level functions of the brain and encompass language, imagination,
    perception, and planning.

    think and the processes involved in cognition. 

     What Is Cognitive Psychology?

    Types of Cognitive Processes


    There are many different types of cognitive processes. These include:

     Attention: Attention is a cognitive process that allows people to focus


    on a specific stimulus in the environment.
     Language: Language and language development are cognitive
    processes that involve the ability to understand and express thoughts
    through spoken and written words. It allows us to communicate with
    others and plays an important role in thought.
     Learning: Learning requires cognitive processes involved in taking in
    new things, synthesizing information, and integrating it with prior
    knowledge.
     Memory: Memory is an important cognitive process that allows people
    to encode, store, and retrieve information. It is a critical component in
    the learning process and allows people to retain knowledge about the
    world and their personal histories.
     Perception: Perception is a cognitive process that allows people to
    take in information through their senses (sensation) and then utilize
    this information to respond and interact with the world.
     Thought: Thought is an essential part of every cognitive process. It
    allows people to engage in decision-making, problem-solving, and
    higher reasoning
