Summary

The cognition agency is a theoretical development that configures cognition with traits which determine its orientation. By cognition is meant the nature and outcome of the immanent and adventitious influences that impact agency. Immanent influences are the result of internal agency dynamics, while adventitious influences are a result of external interactions. Cognitive processes that result in behaviour are not always accessible to conscious agency reflection. The cognition agency has a character defined through its traits. The traits refer to agency variables that are formative in that they offer fundamental control and characterising functions.
