Basic Processes

The basic processes are the most common and simple mental faculties that humans use. These processes include recognizing objects and people as being familiar, forming associations between events and actions, making generalizations between objects, and forming memories about specifics details of events and objects.

The basic processes help infants learn and form memories about their environments and are the building blocks for future development. As children get older basic processes are used more efficiently which in turn increases their ability to learn more efficiently.
