Cognition
Cognitive disorders are conditions that cause individuals to have difficulty thinking. Although symptoms can vary, typically changes in awareness, perception, reasoning, memory and judgment are observed.
Cognition involves the mental processing of information. Memory and thoughts combine to store, retrieve and manipulate this information. When this process is not accurately executed, a cognitive disorder may result.

Cognitive dysfunction can be attributed to:
1. an acute injury (Traumatic Brain Injury, stroke, concussion),
2. a neurological disorder (Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or;
3. apart of normal aging.
