Cognitive Functions

A small guide to the various cognitive functions or subjects and fields relating to cognitive health and performance. These are the topics and mechanisms to focus on, to enhance and such for any ‘broader’ cognitive goal, like doing better in school, absorbing information without studying, being better at video games and esports, etc. The Body equivalent would be wanting to be better at a sport, and then specifically learning about & targeting or training certain muscle groups, reflexes, and conditioning the tendons. These are the components of Intelligence, and any neural-related task. Just like Senses, there is not a concise list of Cognitive Functions, as well as debate and many lesser known or unrecognized functions. These are the ‘Primary’ and widely recognized Cognitive Functions.
