Imagine all of your thoughts as if they were physical entities, swirling rapidly inside your mind.
The brain is endlessly perceiving, processing, planning, organizing, and remembering—it is always active. Yet, you don’t notice most of your brain’s activity as you move throughout your daily routine. This is only one facet of the complex processes involved in cognition. Simply put, cognition is thinking, and it encompasses the processes associated with perception, knowledge, problem solving, judgment, language, and memory.
Upon waking each morning, you begin thinking—contemplating the tasks that you must complete that day. In what order should you run your errands? Should you go to the bank, the cleaners, or the grocery store first? Can you get these things done before you head to class or will they need to wait until school is done?
Exceptionally complex, cognition is an essential feature of human consciousness, yet not all aspects of cognition are consciously experienced.

Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think.
These include human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem solving, in addition to other cognitive mechanisms. Cognitive psychologists strive to determine and measure different types of intelligence, among countless other topics.
In order to organize this staggering amount of information, the mind has developed a "file cabinet" of sorts. The different files stored in the file cabinet are called concepts. Concepts are categories or groupings of linguistic information, images, ideas, or memories, such as life experiences.
You use concepts to see the relationships among the different elements of your experiences and to keep the information in your mind organized and accessible.

Concepts can be complex and abstract, like justice, or more concrete, like types of birds.
Other concepts, like your family’s birthday traditions, are personal and individualized. In this way, concepts touch every aspect of our lives, from our many daily routines to the many abstract principles of life.
