Question
Answer
General Cognitive Functions (5)   Perceiving -> Remembering -> Understanding -> Judging -> Reasoning  
🗑
Perceiving   Noticing something with your senses (information from the outer world) - Related to attention  
🗑
Remembering   Storing information gathered through perception - Memory  
🗑
Understanding   to know the meaning of information  
🗑
Judging   to form an opinion about the correctness of information  
🗑
Reasoning   to do something with the information (e.g., make an argument)  
🗑
Extralinguistic cognitive domains (3)   Attention, memory, executive function.  
🗑
Attention (4 types)   Ability to focus on stimulus: sustained (over a period), selective (filtering competing), divided (more than one at once), alternating  
🗑
Memory (3 types)   The storage of information. 1) Working memory = space for manipulation. 2) Short-term memory = time in seconds. 3) Long-term memory
