 "In
their most common sense, the terms thought and thinking refer
to cognitive processes
that can happen independently of sensory
stimulation.
Their most paradigmatic forms are judging, reasoning,
concept formation, problem
solving,
and deliberation.
But other mental processes, like considering an idea, memory,
or imagination,
are also often included. These processes can happen
internally independent of the sensory
organs,
unlike perception. But when understood in the widest
sense, any mental
event may
be understood as a form of thinking, including
perception and unconscious mental processes. In a
slightly different sense, the term thought refers
not to the mental processes themselves but to mental
states or systems of ideas brought about by these
processes."
