INTRODUCTION
In this work we will analyze several concepts of great importance for the development of this project, we will
learn a little more about the basic cognitive process which consists of the mental operations carried out by the
brain, and we will also see other concepts such as perception, attention, memory. and awareness, these are
activities that are usually understood as psychological processes and that are of great importance for carrying
out this work.
Finally, several activities are carried out on visual perception, this consists of visual tracking, the attention
activity which consists of focal attention. The activity of memory will be analyzed, this is an exercise that is
responsible for verifying immediate memory with words. The activity of consciousness serves to evaluate the
level of consciousness. The language activity, decision-making activity, problem-solving activity of deductive
and abductive reasoning were also analyzed, such as fallacy error reasoning that can be identified as a
worthless argument or false beliefs such as in reasoning among others that We hope it meets the
expectations of you reading this work.
DEVELOPMENT
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Basic Cognitive Processes
Cognitive processes are the mental operations that the brain performs to process information. Through
these operations, the brain works with the information around it, stores it and analyzes it to make the
corresponding decisions. Their influence on behavior makes them essential for adaptation to the social
environment and survival.
These processes are what allow the brain to process the information that comes to it from the senses,
register it, retrieve it when necessary and, above all, learn.
Cognitive processes, also called cognitive functions, include basic aspects, such as perception and
attention, and more elaborate ones, such as thinking. Any activity we do, such as reading, washing dishes or
riding a bicycle, involves cognitive processing.
This happens with most of our daily activities , so when any of these cognitive functions suffer damage, the
ability to perform certain activities is impaired. https://www.becas-santander.com/es/blog/processes-
cognitives.html#:~:text=Los%20processes%20cognitivos%20son%20las,para%2 0take % 20las
%20decisiones%20correspondientes .
Each and every one of the cognitive processes that we carry out are fundamental when it comes to achieving
our adaptation to the social environment, and even our survival, through its influence on behavior. We have to
think that every physical or mental act we carry out, from picking up a piece of cutlery to eat to singing in the
shower, kissing someone or simply writing this article, means that we have processed a series of information
and that we are operating with it. https://psicologiaymente.com/psicologia/processes-cognitivos
Perception
It is a basic cognitive process (but not simple) and one of the most important operations in information
processing. Perception is not a simple process, as it is actually the result of other complex processes, many
of which escape our awareness. One of the purposes of perception is to inform us about the properties of the
environment that are vital to our survival. Another purpose is to help us act in relation to the environment.
Through perception we can organize the information received and interpret it in a meaningful way. Each
person perceives the world differently because each person develops a unique and individual interpretation.
The identification of perception as a complex process derives from the fact that it can be influenced by our
knowledge, memories and expectations. In this sense, perception is understood as a subjective state.
That is, perception INCLUDES the interpretation of the sensation, giving it meaning and organization. Use
experience and memory. It is a subjective and human process.

Visual Perception can be defined as the ability to interpret the information that light from the visible spectrum
reaches our eyes. The result of the interpretation that our brain makes about this information is what we know
as visual perception, sight or vision. https://www.cognifit.com/do/habilita-cognitiva/percepcion-

%20vista %20o%20visi%C3%B3n .
Attention
Attention could be defined as the ability to generate, select, direct and maintain an adequate level of
activation to process relevant information. In other words, attention is a process that takes place at a cognitive
level and that allows us to orient ourselves towards those stimuli that are relevant, ignoring those that are not,
in order to act accordingly. https://www.bitbrain.com/es/blog/atencion-cognitiva-concentracion
Psychology also considers attention as a quality of perception that functions as a kind of filter of stimuli,
evaluating which characteristics are most relevant in order to prioritize the level of importance, leading to
deeper processing of information. https://psicopedia.org/7179/atencion-process-activa-del-aprendizaje/
Memory
Memory is the cognitive function that allows us to encode, store and retrieve information from the past.
Memory is a basic process for learning and is what allows us to create a sense of identity.

Higher Cognitive Processes
Awareness
Consciousness is not usually considered a particular type of mental process, but rather as the knowledge
of our cognitive processes accompanied by our inner voice. Consciousness checks our memory and
makes us realize our intention to act in one way or another towards a specific objective.
https://www.psicoadapta.es/blog/que- son-los-processes-mentales/
Language
Language is the ability we have to express thoughts and feelings through words. It is the tool we use to
communicate and to organize and transmit the information we have about ourselves and the world. Language
and thought develop in parallel and are closely related, influencing each other.
https://www.cognifit.com/do/cognicion
Decision
For psychologists, decision corresponds to the final stage of a reasoning process aimed at solving problems,
as well as the undertaking of options that can substantially modify the course of events.
The decision is usually related to dilemmas, situations, in which people have reasons to follow more than one
possibility. Therefore, some decisions may be more dilemmatic than others. In any case, every decision
implies a transformation or direct change and poses new challenges for the future.
The word decision, in addition to its common use, contains several areas of application, such as legal, social
and community. https:/ /www.si g nificados.com/decision/
Troubleshooting.
According to D Zorrilla and collaborators (1973,1982;1999), problem solving is the self-directed cognitive-
behavioral process through which a person attempts to identify or discover effective or adaptive solutions to
specific problem solutions encountered in life.
According to these authors, the general ability to solve problems includes a series of specific skills, along with
motivation, attitude and the assessment we make of those problems. https//ww.Arca Human research,

Human Reasoning
Inductive Reasoning
It is a logical thinking process in which you use observations and experiential information that you already
know to inform decisions and reach logical conclusions, when you analyze a specific set of data and
information to form general conclusions based on existing knowledge from learning experiences. past is
implementing inductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning is limited because it establishes theories based only on limited evidence or knowledge.
Because it limits the basis on which the hypothesis lies it can prove to limit the number of possible outcomes
as well. https://ww.Indeed career guidance
Deductive reasoning.
When we talk about deductive reasoning, we refer to a type of argument in which a general premise leads to
a specific conclusion. The premise is that deductive argument that, because it is a law, a rule or a general
principle, is accepted as truth. In short, deductive reasoning is that which starts from premises that
necessarily lead to a conclusion.
The conclusions of deductive reasoning do not provide new information, but only confirm the premise.
Furthermore, this is one of the main types of inductive and abductive reasoning. https://www.gradior.es/que-
es-el-razónamiento-deductivo/
A fallacy is a reasoning that, despite looking like a valid argument, is not. This is, therefore, a line of reasoning
that is erroneous, and the inferences presented as a result of these cannot be accepted.
https://psicologiaymente.com/inteligencia/tipos-falacias-logicas- argumentativas
Hypothesis Testing
A hypothesis test is a rule that specifies when a claim about a population can be accepted or rejected
depending on the evidence provided by a sample of data. https://www.addlink.es/noticias/minitab/2852-que-
es-una-proba-de-hypotesis
Propositional Reasoning
It is what is made from propositions or verbal statements that include various logical connectives such as
conjunction, disjunction, equivalence or the conditional. The conjunction is a basic and very simple connective
through which we join 2 statements. https://psikipedia.com/libro/psicologia-del-desarrollo-2/2025-conceptos-y-
teorias-basicas-en-el-razonamiento-deductive
Syllogistic Reasoning
Syllogistic reasoning studies deductive inferences made with propositions that have quantifiers of quantity
(universal, particular) and polarity (affirmative, negative). The syllogistic argument is made up of two premises
and a conclusion in which a new relationship is established between the propositions through the middle term.

Relational Reasoning
Relational reasoning refers to a body of strategies upon which the human mind's ability to identify meaningful
patterns within any flow of information is based. https://www.practicumscript.education/actualidad-practicum-

Abductive Reasoning
Syllogistic Reasoning
What she did was ask if she was in a good state to answer the question we had for her, to which
she correctly answered yes.
We proceed to question, where the patient must select the correct answer: The green
watch is less expensive than the blue watch. The blue watch is more expensive than
the white one.
Which is the least cheap?
a) White
b) Green
c) Blue
The patient responded that the correct answer is c, which corresponds to the color blue.
Based on the answer given by the patient, we can say that the patient's syllogistic reasoning is in

that was carried out.
Josilenny: According to this reasoning, the patient was able to select the correct answer,
demonstrating that her syllogistic reasoning is at a good level.
At the time of this procedure, the patient was in good condition to carry out this process and
seemed confident and relaxed, and that made her think more confident and she did it in an
excellent way.
Brenny : Based on the syllogistic reasoning response, the patient was able to function very well,
we can say that she is in good condition since she was able to decipher the questions and
seemed more secure and confident in this realization...

so that you do not feel nervous or distressed in a case like this.
CONCLUSION
We can conclude that the cognitive processes we can refer to are a set of
mental actions that allow us to carry out daily operations in order to orient
ourselves, mental processes involved in knowledge. Cognitive processes are
those that allow us to analyze, know, think, organize and store information,
which is why they are so important, one of their main objectives is to
understand.
And also, the given activities which facilitate and help us improve how to
evaluate patients with various applied forms.
