I like the para- prefix here. Para-congntive: alongside, auxiliary to cognitive skills.

- thanatropism 9y agoParacognitive is good, but I feel it understates the role of emotional/social/etc. skills in performing the tasks we've been over-crediting to cognitive skills altogether. The point that's being made by users of "non-cognitive" is not that emotional skills are good for emotional affairs while cognitive skills are good for computer programming, but rather than being a effective programmer requires dipping on those other skills as well. I'm beginning to like "non-epistemic". Not everything about being a succesful intellectual or knowledge worker is about discovering the Truth.
