Cognition is a term referring to the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension. These cognitive processes include thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, and problem-solving. These are higher-level functions of the brain and encompass language, imagination, perception, and planning. Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology that investigates how people think and the processes involved in cognition.

Important Points

Components of cognition:- There are many different cognitive components.

• Attention: Attention is a cognitive component that allows people to focus on a specific stimulus in the environment.
• Language: Language and language development are cognitive components 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 component 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 component 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.

Key Points

Cognitive processes affect every aspect of life, from school to work to relationships. Some specific uses for these cognitive processes include the following:-

• Learning new things
• Making decisions

Given:

The ratio of the area of two equilateral triangles is 36 ∶ 25

Formula used:

The perimeter of the triangle = 3 x side

Area of Triangle = √3/4 × (side)²

Calculation:

Let, the side of triangle, T₁ = s

Side of triangle, T₂ = p

Area of triangle T₁ = √3/4 x s²

Area of triangle T₂ = √3/4  x p²

⇒ s : p = 6/5

The perimeter of triangle T₁ = 3s

The perimeter of triangle T₂ = 3p

Ratio of perimeter = 3s : 3p = s : p

⇒ s : p = 6 : 5

∴ The ratio of their perimeters will be 6 ∶ 5.

(22)3

= (2)^2×3

= 2⁶

= 64

  • Most of them have two pairs of limbs.
  • The body is divisible into head and trunk.
  • Tail may be present in some.
  • The amphibian skin is moist (without scales).
  • The eyes have eyelids.
  • A tympanum represents the ear.
  • Alimentary canal, urinary and reproductive tracts open into a common chamber called cloaca which opens to the exterior.

Given :
a + b = 8 , ab = 13
Formula used :
(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
Calculation:
(8)² a² + b² + 2 x 13 or a² + b² = 64 - 26 =38
So, a² + b² -  ab = 38 - 13 = 25
∴ The answer is 25 .

Motivation-

• Motivation is an internal force, which motivates a person to act, so motivation is the attention that creates desire and curiosity in a person to do some work.

• It is a hypothetical process, the functioning of which is inferred from observations of the behaviour of human beings.​ Motivation involves forces that mobilize activities of the individual and channelize them in those directions which help in accomplishing goals.

The logic followed here is: (Product of place value / 2)
EF : 15 : : KL : _?_

Therefore, EF : 15: : KL: 66
Hence, the correct answer is "option 4".

The given statement is:

B = R < E ≤ A > K

Conclusions:

i) B ≤ A → False (As B = R < E ≤ A, Therefore, B ≤ A is definitely False)

ii) E > K → False (As the clear relationship between E and K cannot be determined)

iii) R < A → True (As R < E ≤ A, Therefore, R < A is definitely True)

Therefore, Only conclusion iii) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1).

The first course of action follows because the Delhi government should initiate more water conservation projects because of the shortage of water in Delhi during summer. Due to this water shortage issue will be resolved.

The second course of action follows because the government encourage rain water harvesting in all new and existing residential complexes because of the shortage of water in Delhi during summer. Due to this water shortage issue will be resolved.

Hence, "option 2" is the correct answer.

The correct pattern followed here is:
17th June 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1. Jan.1998 to 17. June.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 × 3) = 1
97 years have 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years (24 × 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Total Days from 1-Jan-1998 to 17-June-1998
(Jan (31) + Feb (28) + March (31) + April (30) + May (31) + June (17) = 168 days
⇒ 168 days ÷ 7 = 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.

Hence, the correct answer is "Wednesday".

The positions of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

The pattern for this is as follows;

Hence, "E27H" is the correct answer.

The logic follows here is :-

Statements :

Q ≤ G = K < M ≥ B > C < V ≤ F

Conclusions :

I. M < Q → False (As Q ≤ G = K < M, here M > Q but given M < Q so, false)

II. Q = M → False (As Q ≤ G = K < M, here M > Q but given Q = M so, false)

Hence, "None follows".

Here the 1st image is related to the second image, in the same manner the 3rd image is related to 4th.
In the second image 4 lines are drawn through the center of the circle. In the same manner 4 lines are drawn through the center of the square in the fourth image.

The logic followed is as shown below:

Hence the correct answer is Option 4.

In the given series:

There are 3 such pairs where a symbol is immediately preceded by a letter and also immediately followed by a number.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4).
