Abstract Cognitive complexity refers to the degree of individual complex thinking, which is the basis and mapping of our understanding of the external world. This paper divided the development of cognitive complexity research into two stages： differentiation, differentiation and integration. To deepen the academic understanding of cognitive complexity, the paper also introduced some assessment tools of cognitive complexity on the two stages, the factors influencing cognitive complexity, and the effects of cognitive complexity on individuals. Future research should employ the concept and assessments of cognitive complexity appropriately, furtherly explore its consequences and corresponding mechanisms, and extend cognitive complexity research to various fields.
