Humans are social creatures, and we would not be able to survive if we could not socialize with anyone. Since we can socialize, our horizons are broadened by a lot. Everyone has feelings and emotions. We have the ability to communicate amongst ourselves and we can also care and love for one another. We have relationships with each other which are based on cause and effect, and we have the ability to understand and obtain knowledge through our socialization. Our main goal in life is to try and make other people feel good. By doing that, we make ourselves feel good.
A lady named Dorothy Dinnerstein came up with the seven features of human cognition. The first one is motivated. The two types of motivation are intrinsic and extrinsic.

Socialization is another one of the features of human cognition because it is a validation of yourself by other people. Social creatures need to be in a social world, that is what makes us human (experiences, emotions, cognition, psychological, and social). Human cognition is affectively timed, which explains how emotions affect our experiences.
