Intelligence

 Cognition is the mental process of acquiring knowledge through thoughts, experiences, and senses. 

Cognition can happen in many different ways and their combinations. Enhancing our “description of the world and ourselves within it” is cognition and differs from ordinary (usually habitual) thoughts.


Novel and Accumulated intelligence are two distinct types of cognitive abilities that help explain how individuals think, reason, and solve problems.


Novel Intelligence: Novel intelligence refers to the capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. It involves the ability to analyze new problems, identify patterns, and make connections.


Characteristics of Novel Intelligence:

-Problem-Solving: Involves reasoning through unfamiliar situations.

-Adaptability: Allows individuals to adapt to new challenges and environments.

Examples:

-Solving puzzles or riddles.

-Completing patterns or analogies.

-Performing tasks that require abstract thinking, such as mathematical reasoning.


Accumulated Intelligence: Informed intelligence refers to the ability to use knowledge, skills, and experience that has been acquired over time. It encompasses verbal skills, factual knowledge, and the application of learned information.


Characteristics of Accumulated Intelligence:

-Knowledge-Based: It relies on information and experience accumulated throughout life.

-Cultural Influence: It's heavily influenced by education and cultural experiences.

Examples:

-Vocabulary and language skills.

-Knowledge of historical facts or scientific concepts.

-Applying learned skills in practical situations, such as using tools or navigating social situations.


Cognition is the mental process of acquiring knowledge through thoughts, experiences, and senses. The cognitive gap is one of the serious problems for both problem-solving and innovation. Today’s digital leaders and professionals with learning intelligence can critically examine their thinking and reflect thoroughly on what attitudes or behaviors help them learn, and master the full cycle of “Learning, De-learning, Relearning” effortlessly.
