Cognitive Processes Matching

This section details the matching of cognitive phenomena from List-I with their explanations from List-II, aligning with the correct answer provided.

Matching Phenomenon to Explanation

  • Thinking (a) corresponds to (ii) Processing information in various ways to move towards a desired goal. Thinking is characterized as a goal-directed process involving information manipulation.
  • Reasoning (b) corresponds to (iii) Mental activity through which we transform available information in order to reach conclusion. Reasoning involves the logical transformation of existing information to derive a conclusion.
  • Decision making (c) corresponds to (iv) An activity that involves the manipulation of mental representation of various features of the external world. This implies that decision making involves analyzing and manipulating internal representations of external elements.
  • Problem solving (d) corresponds to (i) Process of choosing between two or more alternatives on the basis of information about them. This definition positions problem solving as a selection process based on evaluated information.

Therefore, the correct set of matches is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i).
