What are cognitive skills?

 

Answer: Cognitive functioning is a team referring to a human’s ability to process thoughts that should not deplete on a large scale in healthy individuals. Cognition mainly refers to things like memory, the ability to learn new information, speech, and understanding of written material. The brain is usually capable of learning new skills in the aforementioned areas, typically in early childhood, and of developing personal thoughts and beliefs about the world. Old age and disease may affect cognitive function, causing memory loss and trouble thinking of the right words while speaking or writing (“drawing a blank”). Multiple sclerosis (MS), for example, can eventually cause memory loss, and inability to grasp new concepts or information, and depleted verbal fluency.
