Cognition is divided into neurocognition and social cognition, both of which are interconnected with each other and yet are mutually independent. Neurocognition, which is based on neuroanatomical structures, function connections, neuroelectrophysiology and molecular biology, is the basis of the human brain and the reflection of advanced integrative neural function in behavioral science. Social cognition is the cognitive process of perceiving others＇ emotions or intentions and making responses. It took almost a century from 1893 when Kraepelin first described the cognitive impairment of schizophrenia as ＂Dementia praecox＂ to the last two decades when the research on cognition recaptured people＇s attention.
