Abstract

Cognition is simply “knowing,” and both shapes and is shaped by organizational communication. The relationship between cognition and organizational communication can be understood across several levels of analysis. First, the biological basis of cognition is characterized in terms of memory, learning, and attention processes. Second, socioculturally developed cognitive proficiencies feature prominently within studies of organizational communication. Third, communicative organizing processes that dynamically shape both organizations and members' cognition are a growing area of research. Finally, collective cognition continues to be a significant area of interest. Each section of the entry begins by identifying key contributions from cognate disciplines and then highlights contributions from organizational communication research.
