what does conativa mean?

Question

i am learning nuestra lengua bachillerato and the word conativa pops up now and agian, i cannoit find it in the dictionary or on any translation sites

Answer 1

Have you read this one? Conativa

The related English "conative" and "conation" comes also from Latin conation-, conatio act of attempting, from conari to attempt

I conclude it has to do with imperative forms. From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/conative,

conative (not comparable)

Of or pertaining to a striving action.

The conative, as opposed to the cognitive or affective, relates to purposeful, but not necessarily ultimately rational, action.

That seems to sort that one. - annierats, Oct 6, 2011

Could it be "cognoscitivo/a" for cognitive?
