Document Summary
Knowing and cognition is the same thing; recognition and cognition are related. You ask yourself if there"s any significance or relevance; if it does have significance we listen to it to see what it means and store it). Once we have it stored, we"re dealing with memory. Information is stored in memory by processing the information is some kind of meaningful way. We can later inspect it, to see what it is and see what to do with it. The information won"t just stay there, we have to process it and organize it. There is a personality characteristic that has to do with the way people interpret the world. Labellers- when receiving new information, treat and label it as something they know. Sharpeners- don"t related from one thing to another, assume all information is new. Every area takes words that are used in the world and uses it to serve its own purposes and gives it a different meaning.
