As humans begin to get older, there is a strong association between age change and the decline of cognition. There are many causes of this decline, and it often varies highly between individuals based on their lifestyle and physical activity level (Brown AK, Liu-Ambrose T, Tate R, Lord SR, 2009). This a concern that many individuals have as they start to get older, especially with the media coverage that Alzheimer’s disease has been getting.

ask Analysis The first computerised test assessed social intelligence using the Social/Emotional cognition task (SECT). The main purpose of this test is to measure the cognitive domain of social cognition. Social cognition examines how humans process, store and apply information about social situations.

cognitive theorists, cognition is defined as the processes of acquiring knowledge and understanding through perception, reasoning, judgment, thought, and experiences (Mora, 2007). The developmental stages of cognition have many implications in the educational setting. It is important for educators to understand the stages of development to facilitate the learning process of students from preschool to graduate studies. This paper will explore the developmental nature of cognition from the viewpoint
