Mental process

Not to be confused with mental protuberance, an

anatomical feature of the chin.
Mental process or mental function are terms often
used interchangeably for all the things that individuals can do with their minds. These include perception,
memory, thinking (such as ideation, imagination, belief,
reasoning, etc.), volition, and emotion. Sometimes the
term cognitive function is used instead.
A specic instance of engaging in a cognitive process is
a mental event. The event of perceiving something is,
of course, dierent from the entire process, or capacity
of perception ones ability to perceive things. In other
words, an instance of perceiving is dierent from the ability that makes those instances possible.
