Cognitive
Books tagged cognitive are related in some way to how we think. Some will be investigations into the machinery of the brain, others on how we remember or think logically, and still more on how these processes break down. The category is essentially about how the brain works.

This leads to long periods of helplessness as the young brain slowly molds to its environment. It’s “livewired”.
