Kognitivë

Kognitivë is an adjective in Albanian used to describe anything related to cognition, the mental processes involved in perceiving, remembering, thinking, and solving problems. In academic and scientific contexts, it is used to label theories, models, and phenomena connected with these processes.

The term is an Albanian adaptation of the English cognitive or the Latin cognitivus, and it entered scientific vocabulary with the rise of cognitive science in the 20th century. Its usage has grown as research on perception, memory, language, and reasoning expanded across psychology, neuroscience, and education.

In practice, kognitivë is used in phrases such as psikologji kognitive (cognitive psychology), shkenca kognitive (cognitive science), and procese kognitive. It covers topics from attention and perception to memory, learning, and decision making, as well as theoretical questions about mental representations and the nature of knowledge.

The term is sometimes preferred to describe general cognitive aspects in non-technical writing, while scholars may use more specific descriptors. It remains a broad umbrella term that complements other approaches in cognitive science and philosophy of mind.
