Cognition refers to the mental abilities of an individual, such as his or her attention span, processing speed, problem-solving, and reasoning skills, as well as working memory. Cognitive efficiency refers to the capacity to achieve learning and problem-solving skills through the optimal usage of mental resources. Many mental health disorders have been observed recently, whereby cognition is highly associated with the quality of life of the individual.
