Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Cognition" refers to mental processes such as perception, memory, attention, and problem-solving. "Introspection" is a method of self-observation and reporting of inner experiences that was influential in early psychology. "Mentalism" is a broad term that can refer to any philosophy or theory that focuses on mental phenomena, and is not specific to psychology. "Intelligence" is a trait or capacity that encompasses cognitive abilities, but is not the same as the study of mental processes.
