    present from birth, and domain specific, therefore meaning that these different structures of cognition are independent of each other. Contrary to what Piaget suggested, Spelke theorised that children are far more cognitively adept in regards to simple cognitive tasks and that these cognitive abilities are improved as the infant learns (Carey & Spelke, 1994).Throughout this paper, some aspects of cognition will be examined as well as evaluated.

McCutchen, Teske, & Bankston, 2008), and problem-solving has been conceptualized in terms of information processing. The contemporary cognitive process in composition is heavily influenced by Flower and Hayes(1981)’s Cognitive Process Model, which advocates for the evaluation of text in terms of the underlying

As the semester went on I realized I did not know as much as I thought, but I ended up learning more than I ever thought possible. Every week I felt as if my knowledge was increasing day by day. Before this class most of my knowledge came through personal experience or doing some research for my own curiosity. This semester brought more insight into many different topics, but the ones I feel that I
