Cognition

Cognition is described as the the mental process of knowing, which includes the faculties of awareness, perception, reasoning, intuition and judgment. This facility informs social perspective through the recognition of the first person (i.e., I, me, mine), the second person or second person plural (i.e., you, yours, you all), and the object of relationship that defines the first and second persons (i.e., it, s/he, they).
