The capacity to cope with cognitive complexity.

The article discusses how to cope with cognitive complexity. The cognitive-perceptual processes appear to be an integral part of many aspects of personality organization. When there is a complex intertwining of personality organization and cognitive perceptual processes, then the capacity to cope with cognitive complexity in problem solving situations that require highly logical thinking should relate to a more general capacity to tolerate and organize complexity. There is a relationship between the capacity to deal with one type of cognitive complexity and the capacity to modulate successfully and integrate drive representations and segments of illogical thought into appropriate and realistic form. Intertwining of cognition-perception and personality suggests that the capacity to cope with cognitive complexity in problem-solving situations should relate to more general capacities to organize and integrate complexity. Research have showed that there is a relationship between the capacity to deal with logical cognitive complexity and the capacity to integrate drive representations and segments of illogical thought into appropriate and realistic form.
