What are cognitive abilities?
A. Cognitive abilities are the brain skills and mental processes that are needed to carry out all physical and mental tasks, from the simplest to the most complex. Everything you do can be broken down into the different cognitive skills that are needed to perform that task successfully. Traditionally, the main areas of interest for cognitive scientists are attention, perception, memory, motor control, learning capabilities and language processing. Each of the domains described above can be separated into smaller units. For example, in the field of attention we can analyze your ability to divide it, shift it, and focus it. In the field of memory we can study long-term memory, short-term memory and working memory.
