👉 Mentation is a concept in psychology and neuroscience that refers to the way individuals perceive, interpret, and act on information from their environment. It involves the process of interpreting sensory input, such as visual, auditory, or tactile stimuli, and using this information to form mental representations of the world around them. Mentations are often described as "receptive," meaning they allow an individual to receive and understand information in a particular way, and "transactive," meaning that they can be influenced by others
