Though actually, people sometimes stretch it to mean “mental” in a loose way, or even “smart,” which is sloppy: a cognitive skill is a knowing skill, not automatically a high one.
Though actually不過其實, people人們 sometimes stretch it有時候會把它用得很鬆散 to mean "mental" in a loose way來表示鬆散意義上的「精神上的」, or even "smart,"甚至是「聰明」 which is sloppy這是不精確的用法: a cognitive skill一項cognitive的技能 is a knowing skill是一種認知上的技能, not automatically a high one不代表它自動就是高階的。
It is almost always an adjective before a noun. Using cognitive by itself as a noun is rare and specialist; can ignore that use.
It它(這個字) is almost always幾乎總是 an adjective before a noun放在名詞前面的形容詞。Using cognitive by itself as a noun把cognitive單獨當名詞用 is rare and specialist很少見、也很專業; learners can ignore that use學習者可以不用理會這個用法。
