Living cognition and the nature of organisms.
Bio Systems December 1, 2024 Breno B Just, Sávio Torres de Farias 7 citations
Cognition is defined as the set of informational and dynamic processes that allow an organism to interact with and grasp aspects of its world. The authors argue that, from an evolutionary perspective, basic cognitive processes such as perception, memory, learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and action are fundamental features of all living beings. They contend that similarities between simple and complex cognitive processes cannot be ignored, nor can differences be blurred, and that a final cognitive framework must account for both ends of the complexity spectrum. Thus, cognition can be expanded to every living organism.
