<p>[quote user="243129"]</p> <p> </p> <div class="quote-header"> </div> <blockquote class="quote"> <div class="quote-user">VOLKER LANDWEHR</div> <div class="quote-content"> <p> </p> <div class="quote-header"> </div> What you give is the definition of <strong>cognition</strong>. Charlie hebdo talked about <strong>cognitive processes</strong>. And that is something different: <em>Cognitive processes refer to a number of tasks the <a href="https://www.cognifit.com/brain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">brain</a> does continuously. They are procedures in charge of processing all the information we receive from the environment. Thanks to these cognitive processes, <a href="https://www.cognifit.com/cognition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cognition</a> exists and it allows us to explore the world.</em> <p>And: <em>Cognitive processes are analyzed from different sciences including, sociology, linguistics, neurology, anthropology, and philosophy. As for psychology, cognitive psychology is the field in charge of studying cognitive processes.</em><br />Source: <a href="https://blog.cognifit.com/cognitive-processes/">https://blog.cognifit.com/cognitive-processes/</a></p> <p><span style="font-size:24pt;">So really no experience as railroader or locomotive engineer needed.</span><br />Regards, Volker</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p> </p> </div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer"> </div> <p> </p> <p>I would love to launch an experiment with you and your <strong>"no experience needed cognitive processes" </strong>behind the throttle of a 10,000 ton freight train on a 3% downgrade. You would no doubt 'soil your linen'.<strong><img style="display:inline;" alt="Surprise" /><br /></strong></p> <p><em>Regards</em>, Joe<img style="display:inline;" alt="Stick out tongue" /> </p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I think it sometimes would help if you took of your locomotive engineer's blinders.</p> <p>To evaluate the cognitive processes in people's brains the experience of a locomotive engineer are not of much help. Therefore scientists (see my quoted post) are doing it. They look at the cognitive processes in the brain that convert information into knowledge experience etc.</p> <p>For that scientific research for sure no railroading experience is necessary, not to say it would be too different and not good enough.</p> <p>I didn't say one doesn't need experience for driving a train just that it is not needed to understand processes in the human brain.</p> <p>As I said before, take your blinders off some times. Not everything is railroad experience related.</p>
