According to cognitive theories, what structure processes and stores internal information?

  1. Behavior

  2. Thoughts

  3. Memory

  4. Intuition

The correct answer is: Memory

The correct answer is C Memory. According to cognitive theories, the process of thinking, formulating ideas and perceptions, and acquiring knowledge is done by memory. Memory is the structure that stores internal information, such as knowledge, experiences, and skills, and then processes these pieces of information to generate thoughts and behaviors. Option A, behavior, is incorrect because although behavior is a result of cognitive processes, it is not the structure that processes and stores internal information. Option B, thoughts, is incorrect because thoughts are the end result of cognitive processes, but they are not the structure itself. Option D, intuition, is incorrect because intuition is a subconscious feeling or instinct and is not considered to be a cognitive process or structure.
