What Order Should You Improve Your Cognitive Functions In

CUSTOM JAVASCRIPT / HTML


With 28 cognitive functions (thinking skills), we always have a few that need to be improved.

But does it make a difference which one you work on first?

3 Phases of Thinking

Thinking is made up of 3 phases:

  • Input - How you take in information
  • Elaboration - How to process information
  • Output - How you tell the world you know what you know

In each phase there are multiple cognitive functions. 

Although we don’t especially think or work in this order, when improving cognitive functions is a whole lot easier if we improve them in this order.

You'll be able to apply what we're talking about, if you first know how strong each of your cognitive functions are. 
Take this FREE assessment to find out. 

Basic Order

Once you know where each of your cognitive functions are standing, you'll want to begin working on them in order of the phases. 

By starting with improving the cognitive functions in the input phase, it will be easier when you get to elaboration phases and then later the output phase. 

For example, if you struggle with clear perception (input phase) and defining the problem (elaboration phase) and you start working on defining the problem first, it will be a lot harder for you, because the information you are taking in is not in a clear and organized manner. Once your cognitive function of clear perception is strong, when you get to defining the problem, it will be a whole lot easier.

Kay, we got our baseline - the 3 phases of thinking, but within those phases does it make a difference which ones we work on first?

Leveraging Strong Cognitive Functions

There are SOME cognitive functions that when you work on those first, it helps you with others, but here is where it gets sticky.

For the most part, I work with my clients on leveraging their stronger cognitive functions to improve their weaker ones.
For example, if you’re really good at collecting precise and accurate data but struggle with conserving constancies, you can leverage your strength by collecting precise information to see what is needed to conserve constancies.

Instead of stressing about what order to improve your cognitive functions in, work in order of the phases and then leverage your strengths.

Important Exceptions

Comparing, projecting virtual relationships and understanding reality - are needed to do some of the other cognitive functions.

If any of these 3 cognitive functions are very weak, it might make more sense for you to improve those first.
