Risk Management and Decision Making — Cognition
Information on Cognition
Cognition is the faculty of knowing, perceiving and conceiving (conceptualising). In the context of risk management and decision making, cognition is a capacity that emerges along with consciousness as the awareness of strategic choice. This consciousness occurs at the implicit level, where judgement is being exercised, just as it does at the higher levels where deliberate and conscious choices are made. The key to cognition lies in the development of consciousness (Eden and Spender, 1998: 34) or situational awareness (Klein, 1998).
