what is hot cold cognition?
<|assistant|>
Hot cold cognition is the tendency for our mental representation of an object or idea to change depending on the context. It can be thought of as a mental ‘sliding scale’ in which one end represents something being strongly known or believed, and the other end represents being completely unfamiliar or uncertain. When presented with a new situation, our understanding of an object or idea can shift between the two extremes based on the relevance and importance of the information.
