Cognitive ability is a very general intellectual capacity that involves the ability to reason, solve problems, think abstractly, understand complex ideas, learn quickly, especially from experience, and use that learning in practical situations.

Cognitive ability is not just book learning, or a narrow set of academic skills, or the ability to do well on assessments such as these. Rather, intelligence refers to a deeper and broader set of skills for comprehending our environment and how it works. Simply put, cognitive ability involves the degree to which a person can ´catch on,´ ´make sense of things,´ and ´figure out what needs to be done.´
