Key Topics to Revise

1

Components of Thought Process

  • Thinking is a cognitive process involving mental operations like forming concepts, using mental images, and applying reasoning.
  • Concepts are mental categories that group similar objects, events, or ideas based on shared characteristics.
  • Concepts can be concrete (e.g., table, dog) or abstract (e.g., justice, freedom).
2

Types of Reasoning

  • Reasoning is a mental process used to solve problems, make decisions, and draw conclusions.
  • There are two main types: inductive and deductive reasoning.
  • Inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to general conclusions (e.g., observing several ripe apples and concluding all are ripe).
3

Problem Solving

  • Problem solving begins when there is a gap between what is expected and what is happening.
  • It involves a series of mental steps to reach a goal.
  • The five key steps are: recognition of the problem, gathering data, formulation of hypothesis, verification of hypothesis, and formulation of conclusion.
4

Language and Thought

  • Language and thought are closely connected but not the same.
  • Language acts as a tool for thinking and expressing thoughts.
  • People can think without spoken language—e.g., using mental images or sign language.
