Description
Cognition is a key aspect in lives of human beings. It is the aspect of human life that controls all the mental process as well as the activities in our daily lives. To be able to use our limbs, to communicate with people or to learn and perform a specific task we apply our cognitive resources. In essence cognition is omnipresent in all aspects in our lives. On the other hand psychology is a study of the mind and behavior. Through psychology, we learn about our emotions, our thought process and our behavior.

people that we interact with based on psychology of our cognition. In this unit you will learn how cognitive process affects our thoughts, emotions and behavior. This will help you understand yourself better and those you interact with.
