What is cognitive skill primarily concerned with?

Handling emotions and relationships.
Understanding and processing information.
Recognizing personal biases in decision-making.
Developing emotional intelligence.

The correct answer is: Understanding and processing information.

Cognitive skill is primarily focused on the mental processes involved in understanding, learning, and processing information. This encompasses abilities such as attention, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and comprehension. Individuals who possess strong cognitive skills are often better equipped to analyze situations, draw conclusions, and apply knowledge effectively in various contexts. The other options highlight important aspects of personal and interpersonal development. While handling emotions and relationships, recognizing personal biases, and developing emotional intelligence are crucial for overall functioning and decision-making, they fall under the umbrella of emotional and social intelligence rather than directly relating to cognitive skill. Thus, the emphasis on understanding and processing information distinctly aligns with cognitive skill development.
