ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cognitive description

Okay, kiddo! Cognitive description is when we use words to explain how someone thinks or feels about something. Let's say you see a big, scary spider. Your cognitive description might be that you feel scared and want to run away. Or, if you see a cute puppy, your cognitive description might be that you feel happy and want to play with it. It's like putting words to your thoughts and feelings so others can understand them too. It's important to remember that everyone's cognitive descriptions will be different based on their own thoughts and feelings.
