  2. Thinking Module 24

  3. Module Overview • Concepts • Problem Solving • Problems Solving Problems Click on the any of the above hyperlinks to go to that section in the presentation.

  4. Concepts Module 24: Thinking

  5. Cognitive Abilities • All the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing and remembering.

  6. Concept • A mental grouping based on shared similarity. • Categorizing items in one’s environment

  7. Prototype • A typical best example incorporating the major features of a concept. • The closer a new object is to our concept prototype the easier it is to categorize it

  8. Concept Hierarchy • A means to keep mental information organized from basic concepts to specific ones

  9. Concept Hierarchy

  10. Problem Solving Module 24: Thinking

  11. Problem Solving:Algorithms Module 24: Thinking

  12. Algorithms • A problem-solving strategy that guarantees the solution to a problem. • Not always the most efficient method

  13. Problem Solving:Heuristics Module 24: Thinking

  14. Heuristics • A rule-of-thumb problem-solving strategy that makes a solution more likely and efficient but does not guarantee a solution. • These can be handy shortcuts, or they can get us into trouble

  15. Problem Solving:Insight Module 24: Thinking

  16. Insight • The sudden realization (Aha!) of the solution to a problem.

  17. Problems Solving Problems Module 24: Thinking

  18. Mental Set • The tendency to approach a problem in a particular way. • The set may or may not be helpful in solving a new problem

  19. Problems Solving Problems:Fixation Module 24: Thinking

  20. Fixation • A mental set that hinders the solution of a problem. • One needs to think beyond the mental set to solve the new problem

  36. Problems Solving Problems:Counterproductive Heuristics Module 24: Thinking

  37. Availability Heuristic • Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory. • Can be correct or incorrect

  38. Problems Solving Problems:Overconfidence Module 24: Thinking

  39. Overconfidence • When confidence is greater than accuracy.

  40. Problems Solving Problems:Framing Module 24: Thinking

  41. Framing • How an issue is worded or presented, • which can influence decisions and judgments.
