I'm seeking for an operational definition for cognitive processes. When we talk about a process, it means there should be a sequence of steps to a particular end. In the brain, almost any action involves a process, even simply standing still. Thus, what can or cannot be referred to as a cognitive processes and why?
processes can be difined as the way of accessing, manipulating, storing informtion.
for reference u can read devid marr 1982. he tells that any event can be sen on three level i.e. computaional, algorithimic and implementataional level. decision making process can also be seen at those three levels. for looking within the brain, fMRI,MEG.PET EEG/ERP etc can be used. single cell recording is also possible generally in primate like monkey. for eye aslo these days advanced eye trackers are used. for more u can read michael shadlen 2001, 2002 etc paper on perceptual decision making
