Adding new cognition

Explanation:

Cognition is a wide area of thinking or simply can say that thinking. There is a lot of difference between the cognition of animals and human beings. Cognition is related to decision making whether it is fast or slow thinking. Fast thinking is related to heuristic in which immediate decision has happened. It is a good enough process. Slow thinking is time-consuming and it takes abstract thinking before the conclusion.
