Accepted Answer

The term "cognition" refers to the mental processes involved in recognizing, acquiring, and using knowledge and understanding about the world. This includes perception, attention, memory, language, problem-solving, and decision-making. Conditioning refers specifically to a type of learning where an organism associates a particular behavior or response with a stimulus. Learning and imprinting are related to the acquisition and retention of information, but are not as specific to the mental processes involved in cognition.
