"Cognition" versus "Mental Processes"
Hi. I saw your edit on the Psychologist page and became curious. -  I've always had a narrower definition of "Cognition" (e.g., not including feelings or Emotions and perhaps not any of the subconcious phenomena). I understand the word is gaining a broader meaning, but wouldn't something like "mental processes" be more inclusive? SteveWolfer 23:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Well we can use a term like "mental processes" that doesn't have any specific meaning, muchless an article to link, or we can use a term like cognition and argue endlessly about the width of its meaning. The definition on Wikitionary is "the process of knowing," which is also probably too narrow. --User:Neurogrrrl

"...human mind, including..." Neurogrrl, that's an edit that's most excellent. Thank you. I wasn't going to argue in any case, rather it was more a tiny discomfort that neither "mental processes" nor "cognition" were quite right. SteveWolfer 04:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
