Pilyugina, M. A. Intersection Between Interpretation and Cognitive Abilities

Abstract: The article is devoted to the intersection and mutual influence of interpretation and cognitive abilities. The research of cognitive issues involves studying the process of cognition and knowledge and information organization that ensure the adequate and efficient orientation and activity of human. The latter is in many ways caused by caused by the knowledge possessed by the person and opportunity to operate this knowledge, i.e. to understand it and act based on his experience. These aspects are of key importance in the process of interpretation. The author of the present article discusses the role of interpretation in the fulfillment of the basic cognitive abilities. Cognition is a complex research subject that has different aspects. This creates the need for applying the interdisciplinary approach and using sources on psychology, cognitive disciplines and philosophy. Examining the basic cognitive abilities, the author demonstrates that explicitly or implicitly these abilities have the element of interpretation that allows the information obtained to become part of the personal experience. This is performed through applying and reconstructing data in the process of formation of images or the mental process of thought by the means of language. The author concludes that interpretation and implementation of cognitive abilities are interdependent processes and their successful fulfillment contributes to the formation of a stable and consistent personal picture of the world. Thus, the research of cognitive abilities and their mechanisms reveal new aspects of the problem of interpretation and understanding.
