The term cognition (Latin: cognoscere, "to know")
is used in several loosely related ways
to refer to a faculty for the human-like processing of information,
applying knowledge and changing preferences.
Cognition or cognitive processes can be natural and artificial,
conscious and not conscious;
therefore, they are analyzed from different perspectives
and in different contexts,
in anesthesia,
neurology,
psychology,
philosophy,
systemics
and computer science.
In ethics, cognitivism is the philosophical view
that ethical sentences express propositions,
and hence are capable of being true or false.
See Cognitivism (ethics).
More generally,
cognitivism with respect to any area of discourse
is the position that sentences used in that discourse are cognitive,
that is,
are meaningful and capable of being true or false.
In aesthetics, cognitivism is the view that a work of art is valuable
if it contributes to knowledge.
In psychology, cognitivism is the approach to understanding the mind
which argues that mental function can be understood
as the 'internal' rule-bound manipulation of symbols.

In psychology, anecdotal cognitivism is a methodology
for interpreting animal behavior in terms of mental states,
comparable to the mental states of humans.
For example,
the methodology attempts to determine the cognitive capacity of animals
through observation
without the necessity that this observation be regulated or controlled
as in an experiment;
however,
behavior in an experiment can be interpreted using the methodology.
