Standard cognitive glossary version 1

8/3/2015

Comments

 
The following is a glossary defining aspects of cognition discussed on this blog. I'll update it from time to time with new new entries: amendments to existing definitions will contain the date and rationale of the change, with subsequent versions of the standard glossary being released periodically. The aim is to provide a reference tool for use when discussing or studying the nature of cognition that prevents hindrance resulting from conflicting definitions of terms held by different participants. It is not intended to replace or incorporate other glossaries of cognitive terms. 

The glossary is offered as a general baseline standard, the first version of the model abbreviated as: "SCG-1". It is the author's recommendation that interpretations of the following terms be specified by users in the context of a work or discourse using SCG-1, if necessary. 

Baseline definitions

Cognitive: of or pertaining specifically to individual thoughts 
Mental: of or pertaining to the behaviour of thoughts, including their patterns  
Thought: coherent patterns of bioelectrically stimulated neural matter; a phsyiological behaviour resulting in a mental phenomenon 
Thought behaviour: the observable habits of willful thought 
Capability: any possible willful action 
Thought sequence: the sequential pattern in which thoughts occur (also "train of thought")
Thought cycle: the frequency at which thoughts are repeated in the thought sequence 

Standard definitions

Mental health: the absence of metal illness
Mental strength: the willful utilisation of mental capacity
Mental abundance: greater than average metal capacity
Mental surplus: (theoretical only, not possible in actuality) more mental abundance than can be used

Mental development: the natural course of learning to use ones mental capacity
Mental growth: the willful act of increasing mental capacity
Mental conditioning: the willful embedding and practice of particular metal behaviours 

Mental illness: the circumstance of being prevented from using ones mental capability by factors entirely out of ones control.
Mental weakness: the act of willfully failing to use ones mental capability.
Mental deficiency: the circumstance of having a limited mental capability compared to a measured human average.
