This review presents an overview of cognitive systems, quantum phenomena and possible connections between them. The focus will be the artificial cognitive systems and briefly touch the discussion of possible benefits from quantum counterparts. The nonclassical features of Quantum Theory introduced as quantum resources which enables possible speed ups or advantages over classical computational tasks. Quantum computation is introduced as a powerful computational tool over its classical counterparts by also covering possible applications of cognitive phenomena in the framework of quantum cognition. Also different attempts in order to implement decision making processes for cognitive purposes mentioned.
