Unconscious cognition

Unconscious cognition is like when your brain works without you having to think about it. It's kind of like the way your heart beats. You don't have to think to make your heart beat so it happens without you having to think about it. Your brain also does a lot of things that you don't have to think about, like helping you remember things or deciding what you like and don't like. Unconscious cognition means that your brain is always working, even when you don't realize it.
