Three Parts of the Mind (3-Dimensional mind)

QC1 - Cognitive/Affective/Conative

Updated over 4 years ago

Ancient philosophers and modern psychologists agree on the concept of a three-part mind with separate domains for thinking feeling and doing. These three domains work together as part of the Creative Process and are commonly referred to as:

  • Cognitive or intellectual, which controls thought

  • Affective or emotional, which controls feelings

  • Conative or functional, which controls actions
