Title: | Cognition | Contributor(s): | Walmsley, Jim Dennis James (author) | Publication Date: | 2003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/2651 | Abstract: | Cognition is one psychological process through which individuals come to know the ENVIRONMENT around them. Environment, in this sense, refers to all events and phenomena external to an individual. Cognition is a broad term that covers activities such as thinking and reasoning. Some writers draw a distinction between PERCEPTION and cognition, seeing perception as the impinging of external stimuli on the human sense organs and cognition as abstract mental activity that involves insight, deduction, imagery, and problem-solving. Such a distinction is somewhat artificial because cognitive factors can influence perception. | Publication Type: | Entry In Reference Work | Source of Publication: | Encyclopedia of Leisure and Outdoor Recreation, p. 57-57 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | London, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 0415252261 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160402 Recreation, Leisure and Tourism Geography | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 909899 Environmentally Sustainable Commercial Services and Tourism not elsewhere classified | HERDC Category Description: | N Entry In Reference Work | Publisher/associated links: | http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an24845795 http://www.routledge.com/books/Encyclopedia-of-Leisure-and-Outdoor-Recreation-isbn9780415252263 http://books.google.com/books?id=aNM4HnqDbAgC&lpg=PP1&pg=RA1-PA57 |
