mentation

Definitions

1. 1

   Mental activity or mental state, including cognition or, more specifically, thinking.

   • Recursive by nature, mentation wasn’t going to yield to measurement alone.
   • Suggesting that meditative training may foster the ability to control the automatic cascade of semantic associations triggered by a stimulus and, by extension, to voluntarily regulate the flow of spontaneous mentation.
   • Behavioral economists argue a worldview based on the notion that human mentation is frail and flawed, leading to irrational choices that fail to adequately consider the wider structure of alternatives.
