Cognition: cognition means processing of information by a human, animal or artificial system. Since information flows through all perceptual organs, uniform processing is to be assumed only on the lowest level of symbols. Examples of cognition are perception, learning, speech recognition, problem solving. Cognitions can run unconsciously.

Christopher Peacocke on Cognition - Dictionary of Arguments

I 42
Def cognitive priority: a concept is not conceivable without the other, but not the same as definitional priority - eg red* (field of view) without red is possible, but being red can be defined only by red* (field of view).
>Concepts
, >Definition, >Definability, >Appearance,
>Appearance/Sellars, >Seeing, >Language use.
Kaplan: character: is the same for red and reduv. That is what is primarily of red*
>Character/Kaplan, Content/Kaplan.
Peacocke: cognitive and definitional priority do not necessarily coincide.
>Conceivability.
It may be that a concept has definitional priority over a second concept, but the second has cognitive priority over the first.
