Descartes' quote "I think, therefore I am" directly relates to the cognitive paradigm by highlighting the importance of conscious thoughts and the mind in understanding human existence. This quote emphasizes the role of cognitive processes, such as thinking and self-awareness, in shaping one's sense of self and reality, which aligns with the central focus of the cognitive paradigm on mental processes in understanding human behavior.
