The human brain receives information from the outside world, which is transformed into internal psychological activities through brain processing, and then dominates human behavior. This process is the process of information processing, that is, the cognitive process.
People can not only directly perceive individual and concrete things, but also know the superficial connection and relationship of things. They can also use the existing knowledge and experience in their minds to indirectly and generally understand things, reveal the essence of things and their internal relations and laws, form concepts, reasoning and judgments on things, and solve various problems they face. This is thinking.

Herbert simon believes that human cognition has three basic processes:
(1) problem solving: heuristic method, means-purpose analysis method and planning process method are adopted.
(2) Pattern recognition ability: To establish the pattern of things, people must know the relationship between elements. Such as equivalence relation, continuity relation, etc. According to the relationship between elements, a pattern can be formed.
(3) Learning: Learning is to obtain information and store it for later use. There are different forms of learning, such as discriminating learning, reading, understanding and example learning.
