NCF 2005 defines cognition as the capacity to make sense of the self and the world primarily through:
A{'text': 'Action and language', 'label': 'A'}
B{'text': 'Storage and retrieval of facts', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': 'Memorisation and rehearsal', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': 'Imitation and reward', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. {'text': 'Action and language', 'label': 'A'}
1. NCF 2005 §2.3.2 begins: 'Cognition involves the capacity to make sense of the self and the world, through action and language.'
2. The framework explicitly contrasts this with 'storage and retrieval of information' and adds that thinking and doing are intimately intertwined.
3. Imitation-and-reward and rehearsal are behaviourist framings that NCF 2005 critiques.
