ABSTRACT
Cognition may be thought of as the processes that are utilized in organizing information, including perception, attention, memory, understanding, and learning (Bostrom and Sandberg, 2009). The “cognitive state” of an individual refers to the mental processes that modulate these core cognitive processes. Essentially, cognitive state refers to “state of mind,” which encompasses factors that determine efficiency (e.g., sleepiness) or emotional state (e.g., agitated).
