The term cognition (Latin: cognoscere, "to know") is used in several loosely related ways to refer to a facility for the human-like processing of information, applying knowledge and changing preferences ( see, for ex., IPK cognitive architecture). Cognition/(cognitive processes) can be natural and artificial, conscious and not conscious; therefore, they are analyzed from different perspectives and in different contexts, in neurology, psychology, philosophy, systemics and computer science.
