Kognityviniuose

Kognityviniuose is a Lithuanian grammatical form—the locative plural of the adjective kognityvinis, meaning cognitive. It is used to modify plural nouns in the locative case, typically to denote a field, domain, or context involving cognition. Common collocations include kognityviniuose moksluose (in cognitive sciences) and kognityviniuose tyrimuose (in cognitive studies).

In Lithuanian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. The locative plural ending -iuose attaches to the stem kognityv-, producing kognityviniuose when the noun is in the plural locative. This form is a grammatical feature rather than a standalone concept and is frequently encountered in academic and descriptive writing to specify the domain of cognition.

Examples:

Šio tyrimo rezultatai buvo svarbūs kognityviniuose moksluose. (The results of this study were important in the cognitive sciences.)

Kognityviniuose tyrimuose mokslininkai modeliuoja žmogaus pažinimo procesus. (In cognitive studies, researchers model human cognitive processes.)
